Microbial evolution of sulphate reduction when lateral gene transfer is geographically restricted.

International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology - 1 Jul 2011

Chi Fru E

Abstract excerpt

Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is an important mechanism by which micro-organisms acquire new functions. This process has been suggested to be central to prokaryotic evolution in various environments. However, the influence of geographical constraints on the evolution of laterally acquired genes in microbial metabolic evolution is not yet well understood. In this study, the influence of geographical isolation on the...
