Systematic analysis of prophage elements in actinobacterial genomes reveals a remarkable phylogenetic diversity

Abstract Actinobacteria represent one of the largest bacterial phyla harboring many species of high medical, biotechnological and ecological relevance. Prophage elements are major contributors to bacterial genome diversity and were shown to significantly shape bacterial fitness and host-microbe inte...
