The effects of growth medium on Flavobacterium columnare colony morphology and its phage resistance mechanisms

The freshwater bacterium Flavobacterium columnare is known to exhibit different morphologies when cultured in different media with bacteriophage. This could influence the type of phage-resistance mechanisms the bacteria use, such as CRISPR-Cas system or alterations which reduce bacteriophage adsorpt...
