Intestinal cues driving prophage induction in the microbiota are largely unknown. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Oh et al. (2018) reveal that dietary fructose- and microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids promote AckA-mediated acetic acid biosynthesis, triggering a stress response that facilities phage production.
