VIRAL ROLE. “A major role of viruses in the host biology has also been demonstrated in prokaryotes as illustrated by gene transduction, in particular the transfer of photosystem genes by cyanophages, the use of defective prophages as vehicles for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) known as gene transfer agents, and more generally by the recruitment of viral genes for diverse host functions.”
