The Trojan Horse of the microbiological arms race: phage-encoded toxins as a defence against eukaryotic predators.

abstract：:The aromatic hydrocarbon naphthalene, which occurs in coal and oil, can be degraded by aerobic or anaerobic microorganisms. A wide-spread electron acceptor for the latter is sulfate. Evidence for in situ naphthalene degradation stems in particular from the detection of 2-naphthoate and [5,6,7,8]-tetrahydro-2-naphthoat...
