Spontaneous mutations in hlyD and tuf genes result in resistance of Dickeya solani IPO 2222 to phage ϕD5 but cause decreased bacterial fitness and virulence in planta
Abstract Lytic bacteriophages able to infect and kill Dickeya spp. can be readily isolated from virtually all Dickeya spp. containing environments, yet little is known about the selective pressure those viruses exert on their hosts. Two spontaneous D. solani IPO 2222 mutants (0.8% of all obtained mu...
