Bacteriophage self-counting in the presence of viral replication

Abstract: When host cells are in low abundance, temperate bacteriophages opt for dormant (lysogenic) infection. Phage lambda implements this strategy by increasing the frequency of lysogeny at higher multiplicity of infection (MOI). However, it remains unclear how the phage reliably counts infecting viral genomes even as their intracellular number increases because of replication. By combining theoretical modeling with single-cell measurements of viral copy number and gene expression, we find that instead of hindering l… Show more

“…To discard false positive spots, such as the ones resulting from nonspecific binding of smFISH probes, we performed a gating procedure as described in 34,84 . Briefly, we compared the 2D scatter plots of peak height versus spot area for all detected spots in the experimental samples to that from the negative control (the sample incubated with probes against lambda cI, see Section "smFISH").…”
