Conjugation Mediates Large-Scale Chromosomal Transfer in Streptomyces Driving Diversification of Antibiotic Biosynthetic Gene Clusters
1 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces are ubiquitous soil-dwelling bacteria with large, linear genomes that are of special importance as a source of metabolites used in human and veterinary medicine, agronomy, and industry. Conjugative elements (actinomycetes integrative and conjugative elements, AICEs) are the main drivers of Streptomyces Horizontal Gene Transfer. AICE transfer has long been known to be accompanied by mobilization of...
