Abstract excerpt
Mobile genetic elements can innovate bacteria with new traits. In plant pathogenic Streptomyces, frequent and recent acquisition of integrative and conjugative or mobilizable genetic elements is predicted to lead to the emergence of new lineages that gained the capacity to synthesize Thaxtomin, a phytotoxin neccesary for induction of common scab disease on tuber and root crops. Here, we identified components of...
