Description
The talk will discuss the lysis-lysogeny choice from a game
theoretical viewpoint, suggesting that the optimal frequency
of lysogeny is close to the likelihood that the environment
of the phage collapses. Subsequently I will discuss possible
ways to understand sustainability of virulent phages,
including limits for the diversity of virulent phage species
in a given environment.
