Viral Predation

4. Equation describing the oscillatory nature of predator-prey interactions (5,8)
6. Family of dsDNA viruses that have contractile tails
11. Family of dsDNA viruses that have long, non-contractile tails
13. An infection that results in the virus integrating itself into the host genome
14. Term for a virus infecting bacteria
15. Name for a conceptual cell that has different metabolic properties due to viral infection
16. An infection that results in cell death and release of viral progeny

1. Term for a virus that infects giant viruses
2. '-The-Winner'. A hypothesis that phages favour lysogeny over lysis when host abundances are high
3. Family of dsDNA viruses that have short tails
5. Time between the injection of viral DNA into a cell and lysis of the host cell (6,6)
7. '-Metabolic gene'. Name for a functional gene that alters host metabolism during infection.
8. The number of viruses released from a single infection upon host lysis (5,4)
9. Term for a phage that can undergo lysogeny
10. Gene in photosystem II often found in cyanophages to increase cellular ATP at the cost of carbon fixation
12. Process by which viral predation releases nutrients back to the community for recycling, increasing community function (5,5)
