CRISPR Immunity Drives Rapid Phage Genome Evolution in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus thermophilus</named-content>

ABSTRACT Many bacteria rely on CRISPR-Cas systems to provide adaptive immunity against phages, predation by which can shape the ecology and functioning of microbial communities. To characterize the impact of CRISPR immunization on phage genome evolution, we performed long-term bacterium-phage (Strep...
