Bacteriophage-driven DNA inversions shape bacterial functionality and long-term co-existence in Bacteroides fragilis by Shaqed Carasso, Roni Keshet-David, Jia Zhang, Haitham Hajjo, Dana Kadosh-Kariti, Tal Gefen, Naama Geva-Zatorsky

“…Bacterial genomic DNA inversions, which govern molecular phase-variations, provide the bacteria with functional plasticity and phenotypic diversity. These targeted rearrangements enable bacteria to respond to environmental challenges, such as bacteriophage predation, evading immune detection or gut colonization. …”
