Deskripsi

Arms races between phage and bacteria are well known from lab experiments, but insight from field systems is limited. Here, the authors show changes in the resistance and CRISPR loci of bacteria and the infectivity, host range and genome size of phage over multiple years in an aquaculture environment.
