Detailed knowledge of phage lifecycles, have been limited to few model bacteriophages mostly infecting Escherichia coli as well as the results of increasingly antiquated methods. However, next-generation techniques now make it possible to explore how phage affect host transcription and metabolism, now re-sparked by modern therapeutic and biotechnological potential, as well as to ask deeper more comprehensive questions. By performing RNA -Seq on synchronously infected cells we are able to compare host transcript data for early, middle and late transcription with six fundamentally different lytic phages: N4likevirus, Phikzlikevirus, Yualikevirus, Pbunalikevirus, Phikmvlikevirus, and novel F7-like viruses infecting P. aeruginosa PAO1 .
