Abstract excerpt
Genomic islands (GEIs) are large DNA segments, present in most bacterial genomes, that are most likely acquired via horizontal gene transfer. Here, we study the self-transfer system of the integrative and conjugative element ICEclc of Pseudomonas knackmussii B13, which stands model for a larger group of ICE/GEI with syntenic core gene organization. Functional screening revealed that unlike conjugative plasmids...
