Correction: Viruses' Life History: Towards a Mechanistic Basis of a Trade-Off between Survival and Reproduction among Phages

Abstract

A comparison of life-history traits of 16 phages infecting E. coli reveals that although these viruses don't age, there is a trade-off between mortality and growth rate, which parallels that observed in many other species.


In PLoS Biology, volume 4, issue 7: DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.0040193

In the abstract, the mortality rate is described as being negatively correlated with multiplication rate, whereas it is positively correlated.
