Toxin-Antitoxin Systems Alter Adaptation of Mycobacterium smegmatis to Environmental Stress

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems Alter Adaptation of Mycobacterium smegmatis to Environmental Stress

ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous genetic elements in prokaryotes, but their biological importance is poorly understood. Mycobacterium smegmatis contains eight putative TA systems. Previously, seven TAs have been studied, with five of them being verified as functional. Here, we sh...
