Toxin–antitoxin loci are highly abundant in free-living but lost from host-associated prokaryotes
DP Pandey, K Gerdes - Nucleic acids research, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Prokaryotic chromosomes code for toxin–antitoxin (TA) loci, often in multiple copies. In E.
coli, experimental evidence indicates that TA loci are stress-response elements that help …
