    Prophage regulation of Shewanella fidelis 3313 motility and biofilm formation with implications for gut colonization dynamics in Ciona robusta

    Ojas Natarajan, Susanne L Gibboney ... Larry J Dishaw
    Deleting SfPat prophage reduces Shewanella fidelis motility, increases biofilms, changes pdeB expression and spatial retention in Ciona gut, while Ciona VCBP-C binding to the WT strain results in reduced expression of viral capsid proteins without inducing SOS, indicating tripartite interactions.
