Inter-phylum HGT has shaped the metabolism of many mesophilic and anaerobic bacteria.

The ISME journal - 17 Mar 2015

Caro-Quintero Alejandro, Konstantinidis Konstantinos T

Abstract excerpt

Genome sequencing has revealed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major evolutionary process in bacteria. Although it is generally assumed that closely related organisms engage in genetic exchange more frequently than distantly related ones, the frequency of HGT among distantly related organisms and the effect of ecological relatedness on the frequency has not been rigorously assessed. Here, we devised a...
