Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas systems provide immunity against phages and plasmids in bacteria and archaea. Despite the popularity of CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing, few endogenous systems have been characterized to date. Here, we sampled 1,262 publically available lactobacilli genomes found them to be enriched with CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity. While CRISPR-Cas is ubiquitous in some Lactobacillus species, CRISPR-Cas content...
