Identification of a new antiphage system in <i>Mycobacterium</i> phage Butters

2023-01-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> During lysogeny temperate phages establish a truce with the bacterial host. In this state, the phage genome (prophage) is maintained within the host environment. Consequently, many prophages have evolved systems to protect the host from heterotypic viral attack. This phenomenon of prophages mediating defense of their host against competitor phages is widespread among temperate mycobacteriophages...
