Ecophysiology of Bacteriophage S5100 Infecting Halobacterium cutirubrum

RESUMO
Increasing salinity reduces burst size and increases the latent period of infection of Halobacterium cutirubrum by lytic bacteriophage S5100. Cells become reversibly and persistently infected at saturation-level concentrations of NaCl. We propose that high salinity provides a natural refuge for sensitive host bacteria and that phage S5100 acts as a scavenger, proliferating when host viability is threatened by dilution of the environment.
