Description

AbiC was discovered in Lactococcus lactis plasmid in 1992 (N/A)

AbiC is one of the so-called "Abi" systems for "Abortive infection" discovered in the 90's in research related to the dairy industry (N/A) . AbiC is classified as abortive infection in (N/A) .

AbiC is a single gene system composed of the protein AbiC.
