In this episode, how DNA of gi­ant viruses has con­tributed ex­ten­sively to the genome of green al­gae, and in­hi­bi­tion of E. coli vir­u­lence by a meta­bolic prod­uct of arachi­donic acid in the in­testi­nal ep­ithe­lium.

Hosts: Vin­cent Racaniello, Michael Schmidt, Michele Swan­son and Elio Schaechter.
