Compensatory evolution facilitates the acquisition of multiple plasmids in bacteria

2017-09-11

Abstract excerpt

The coexistence of multicopy plasmids is a common phenomenon. However, the evolutionary forces promoting these genotypes are poorly understood. In this study, we have analyzed multiple ColE1 plasmids (pB1000, pB1005 and pB1006) coexisting within Haemophilus influenzae RdKW20 in all possible combinations. When transformed into the naïve host, each plasmid type presented a particular copy number and produced a spec...
