Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gene transfer in the Bacteria has been demonstrated to occur under natural conditions. The ecological impact of gene transfer events depends on the new genetic material being expressed in recipient organisms, and on natural selection processes operating on these recipients. The phylogenetic distribution of cbaAB genes for chlorobenzoate 3,4-(4,5)-dioxygenase, which are carried within Tn5271 on the IncP...
