<italic toggle="yes">Mycobacterium</italic> Phage Butters-Encoded Proteins Contribute to Host Defense against Viral Attack

ABSTRACT A diverse set of prophage-mediated mechanisms protecting bacterial hosts from infection has been recently uncovered within cluster N mycobacteriophages isolated on the host, Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155. In that context, we unveil a novel defense mechanism in cluster N prophage Butters. B...
