Fig. 3 . A model for the behavior of WT and {Delta}mazEF cultures during phage P1 attack. (A) In WT cells, mazEF mediates the death of the infected cells. As a consequence, the development of the phage is restricted, the phage titer is low, and the culture survives. (B) In {Delta}mazEF cultures, nothing interferes with the phage infections: the infected cells lyse and spread infecting particles to the rest of the cells in the culture. Thus, the WT culture can survive phage infections whereas the {Delta}mazEF culture dies. PCD, programmed cell death.
