CRISPR-Cas systems and diversity of targeting phages in Lactobacillus johnsonii strains; insights from genome mining approach

In conclusion, the current study indicates that there is great diversity between the CRISPR-Cas systems identified in L. johnsonii strains. Such diverse CRISPR-Cas systems indicate that these systems are naturally active and important in terms of adaptive immunity and evolutionary relationships.PMID:37703922 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105500
