Why do plasmids manipulate the expression of bacterial phenotypes?

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 17 Jan 2022

Billane Kathryn, Harrison Ellie, Cameron Duncan, Brockhurst Michael A

Abstract excerpt

Conjugative plasmids play an important role in bacterial evolution by transferring niche-adaptive traits between lineages, thus driving adaptation and genome diversification. It is increasingly clear, however, that in addition to this evolutionary role, plasmids also manipulate the expression of a broad range of bacterial phenotypes. In this review, we argue that the effects that plasmids have on the expression...
