This project investigates bacterial defense mechanisms against viruses, focusing on altruistic and selfish strategies. By combining laboratory models with metagenomics, the research aims to understand how spatial structure influences the distribution of these defenses, contributing to our knowledge of microbial immunit…
Bacteria are crucial for health, nutrient cycling and biotechnology but face a constant pressure from the viruses that infect them (phages).
As such, bacteria have evolved a sophisticated suite of defence mechanisms that allow them to evade phages.
These defence mechanisms can be classified into two basic classes: selfish or altruistic. A selfish system protects individuals, whereas an altruistic system protects the population.
Interestingly, the distribution of this defensive arsenal is uneven,…
