Simulations of phage attacks on growing microcolones. Upper row:  A relatively early phage attack (infection at 3.25 h), results in killing of all cells. Lower row: A slightly later attack (infection at 3.75 h), results in continued growth of cells in the center of the microcolony. Blue spheres represent live, uninfected cells. Phage-infected bacteria are yellow to red, the ones closest to lysis are the most red. Source: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1708954115
