Phages as ecosystem engineers of plant microbiomes.
PubMed · 2026-05-13
Viruses that infect bacteria (phages) play a surprisingly important role in shaping the communities of microbes living on and around plants, influencing whether those microbes help or harm the plant.
1
Phages regulate plant-associated bacterial communities through direct killing (lysis), not just passive coexistence
2
Phages can insert auxiliary genes into bacteria via lysogeny, potentially changing bacterial behavior and their relationship with the host plant
3
The phage-bacteria dynamic ultimately tips the balance between mutualistic (beneficial) and antagonistic (harmful) plant-bacteria interactions
