This phenomenon of "host-controlled restriction" was first described in the 1950s. Werner Arber, a Swiss microbiologist, subsequently advanced a molecular explanation. He suggested that bacteria cope with phages by "restriction-modification"(genetically-controlled enzymatic reactions). 1, record 3, English, - host%2Dcontrolled%20restriction
