Relationship between spatial and genetic distance in Agrobacterium spp. in 1 cubic centimeter of soil.

Abstract excerpt

The spatial and genetic unit of bacterial population structure is the clone. Surprisingly, very little is known about the spread of a clone (spatial distance between clonally related bacteria) and the relationship between spatial distance and genetic distance, especially at very short scale (microhabitat scale), where cell division takes place. Agrobacterium spp. Biovar 1 was chosen because it is a soil bacterial...
