ABSTRACT
When viruses infect microbial cells, their phenotypes depend on the host's genotype and on the environmental conditions. Here we describe such an effect in laboratory strains of the chlorovirus PBCV-1 and its algal host Chlorella variabilis. We studied the growth of six virus isolates, and found that the mean lysis time was 1.34±0.05 times longer at multiplicity of particles (MOP) 10 than at MOP 1. We could not detect any associated changes in burst size. This is a novel plastic trait for chloroviruses, and we hypothesize that it is caused by our specific laboratory algae.
