The Composition of the Cell Envelope Affects Conjugation in Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 2016

Johnson Christopher M, Grossman Alan D

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Conjugation in bacteria is the contact-dependent transfer of DNA from one cell to another via donor-encoded conjugation machinery. It is a major type of horizontal gene transfer between bacteria. Conjugation of the integrative and conjugative element ICEBs1 into Bacillus subtilis is affected by the composition of phospholipids in the cell membranes of the donor and recipient. We found that reduction...
