Abstract

Abstract : Bacteria have been shown to harbor a growing arsenal of various defense systems against phages. Maguin et al . have uncovered how two of the most frequent defense systems interact: the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-Cas (CRISPR-Cas) system recycles by-products of the restriction–modification (RM) system to increase bacterial defense in the long run.
