Mechanism of retrotransfer in conjugation: prior transfer of the conjugative plasmid is required.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1996

Sia E A, Kuehner D M, Figurski D H

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial conjugation normally involves the unidirectional transfer of DNA from donor to recipient. Occasionally, conjugation results in the transfer of DNA from recipient to donor, a phenomenon known as retrotransfer. Two distinct models have been generally considered for the mechanism of retrotransfer. In the two-way conduction model, no transfer of the conjugative plasmid is required. The establishment of a...
