Abstract excerpt
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (CAS) genes make up bacteria's adaptive immune system. These genes protect bacteria from being eaten by bacteriophages. In this study, CRISPR-Cas systems were characterized using a genomic approach. For this purpose, genome sequences of Lactobacillus johnsonii strains were retrieved, and the diversity, occurrence, and...
