AbstractLysogens, bacteria with one or more viruses (prophages) integrated into their genomes, are abundant in the gut of animals. Prophages often influence bacterial traits; however, the influence of prophages on the gut microbiota-host immune axis in animals remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the influence of the prophage SfPat on Shewanella fidelis 3313, a persistent member of the gut microbiome of the model marine tunicate, Ciona robusta.

AbstractLysogens are bacteria that contain viruses (prophages) integrated into their genomes, and these prophages often affect metabolic pathways and other traits of their bacterial hosts. Lysogens are abundant in the gut of animals. However, the potential influence of prophages on the gut microbiota-host immune axis in animals remains poorly understood.
