Bacteriophages (“phages”) are hypothesized to be key drivers of bacterial population dynamics, driving microbial community composition, but empirical support for this is mixed. One reason why phages may have a less-than-expected impact on community composition is that many different phages and other mobile genetic elements (MGEs) interact with each bacterium. For instance, the same phage may have higher or lower costs to different bacterial strains or species. Assuming that resistance or susceptibility to MGE infection is not consistent across all MGEs, a simple prediction is that the net effect of MGEs on each bacterial taxon may converge with an increasing number of interactions with different MGEs. We formalized this prediction using in silico population dynamics simulations and then carried out experiments using three bacterial species, one generalist conjugative plasmid, and three species-specific phages. While the presence of only phages or only the plasmid altered community structure, these differential effects on community structure canceled out when both were together. The effects of MGEs were largely indirect and could not be explained by simple pairwise bipartite interactions (i.e., between each MGE and each bacterial species). Our results suggest that the effects of MGEs may be overestimated by studies that focus on a single MGE and not on interactions among multiple MGEs.
