Extensive variation in natural competence in Haemophilus influenzae.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2009

Maughan Heather, Redfield Rosemary J

Abstract excerpt

The ability of some bacteria to take up and recombine DNA from the environment is an important evolutionary problem because its function is controversial; although populations may benefit in the long-term from the introduction of new alleles, cells also reap immediate benefits from the contribution of DNA to metabolism. To clarify how selection has acted, we have characterized competence in natural isolates of H....
