Evolution of a New Function by Fusion between Phage DNA and a Bacterial Gene.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 2020

Abstract excerpt

Mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids, phages, and transposons, are important sources for evolution of novel functions. In this study, we performed a large-scale screening of metagenomic phage libraries for their ability to suppress temperature-sensitivity in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain LT2 mutants to examine how phage DNA could confer evolutionary novelty to bacteria. We identified an...
