Dynamic of bacteriophages infection on either resistant or non-resistant soil bacteria

| Palabra clave: | Sinorhizobium meliloti Defense-associated Reverse Transcriptases (DRTs) Phage predation |
| Sumario: | Students have learned basic microbiology techniques to understand the importance of viruses and their antiviral counterparts present in bacterial genomes. In particular, we have analyzed the dynamic of a phage infection in the presence of a defense-associated reverse transcriptase (DRT) antiviral system (UG5 group) found in the bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti. The presence of the defense system affects phage replication by up to 5 orders of magnitude. Results obtained exemplified how the presence of an abortive defense system eliminates phages in the environment more efficiently than the absence of host infection. |
