Virus {Psi}M2 enters a non-lytic lifecycle alternative to lysogeny during infection of Methanothermobacter marburgensis
Methanogens, a diverse group of archaea that produce methane during energy metabolism, are prevalent in anoxic habitats where they are exposed to viral infections. The head-tailed virus {Psi}M2 is one of few virus isolates that infect a methanogen host and was described as a lytic virus that lyses its host, Methanothermobacter marburgensis. Here, we present evidence that {Psi}M2 does not…
