Evolution of Superinfection Immunity in Cluster A Mycobacteriophages

ABSTRACT Temperate phages encode an immunity system to control lytic gene expression during lysogeny. This gene regulatory circuit consists of multiple interacting genetic elements, and although it is essential for controlling phage growth, it is subject to conflicting evolutionary pressures. During...
