Phage-inducible chromosomal minimalist islands (PICMIs), a novel family of small marine satellites of virulent phages
Abstract Phage satellites are bacterial genetic elements that co-opt phage machinery for their own dissemination. Here we identify a family of satellites, named Phage-Inducible Chromosomal Minimalist Islands (PICMIs), that are broadly distributed in marine bacteria of the family Vibrionaceae. A typi...
