Sexuality in a natural population of bacteria--Bacillus subtilis challenges the clonal paradigm.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 1992

Istock C A, Duncan K E, Ferguson N, Zhou X

Abstract excerpt

Reproduction by binary fission necessarily establishes a clonal genotypic structure in bacterial populations unless a high rate of genetic recombination opposes it. Several genetic properties were examined for a wild population of Bacillus subtilis in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona to assess the extent of recombination in a natural population. These properties included allozyme variation revealed by multilocus...
