Yet More Evidence of Collusion: a New Viral Defense System Encoded by Gordonia Phage CarolAnn
Prophage-mediated viral defense systems play a key role in microbial dynamics, as lysogeny is established relatively efficiently, and prophage-expressed genes can strongly inhibit lytic infection of other, unrelated phages. Demonstrating such defense systems in Gordonia terrae suggests that these sy...
