Integrating conjugative elements of the SXT/R391 family from fish-isolated Vibrios encode restriction-modification systems that confer resistance to bacteriophages.

abstract：:Biodiversity patterns have been successfully linked to many ecosystem functions, and microbial communities have been suspected to harbour a large amount of functionally redundant taxa. We manipulated the diversity of stream and lake water column bacterial communities and investigated how the reduction in diversity aff...
