The association of prokaryotic antiviral systems and symbiotic phage communities in drinking water microbiomes.

ABSTRACT: Prokaryotic antiviral systems are important mediators for prokaryote-phage interactions, which have significant implications for the survival of prokaryotic community. However, the prokaryotic antiviral systems under environmental stress are poorly understood, limiting the understanding of microbial adaptability. Here, we systematically investigated the profile of the prokaryotic antiviral systems at the community level and prokaryote-phage interactions in the drinking water microbiome. Chlorine disinfectant was revealed as the main ecological driver for the difference in prokaryotic antiviral systems and prokaryote-phage interactions. Specifically, the prokaryotic antiviral systems in the microbiome exhibited a higher abundance, broader antiviral spectrum, and lower metabolic burden under
