Abstract A single dynamical equation for the virus to microbe ratio (VMR) shows that an optimal tradeoff occurs between a short lysis time and low burst size vs . long large size. The model predicts interventions lowering phage adsorption by killing free and/or limiting their access bacteria cause evolution of increased higher until intervention either drives virulent extinct or, temperate phage, from its lytic phase into lysogenic phase. also lowers bacterial growth, R , induces prophages within it switch An simultaneously both viral accessibility growth rate may increase net (VMR), result reminiscent Volterra principle predator-prey dynamics in ecology.
