They have high environmental prevalence, especially in aqueous media such as salt or fresh water, drains and soil. They seem to play a major role in bacteriological ecology in nature. Each is specific to one bacterial species. They may show a lysogenic cycle, integrating the bacterial genome using an integrase and thus promoting genetic exchange. Then they become [...]
