Cover photograph (Copyright © 2009, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.): Artistic interpretation (Mette Høst, Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark) of phage playing dice. Phage tend to behave deterministically when alone and stochastically when together with other copies of the same phage in an infected bacterium. An explanation for this behavior is based on the comparison between single-player and multiplayer games. (See related article on p. 11416.)
