Evolutionary trajectories of secondary replicons in multipartite genomes
2023-04-09
Abstract excerpt
Most bacterial genomes have a single chromosome that may be supplemented by smaller, dispensable plasmids. However, approximately 10% of bacteria with completely sequenced genomes, mostly pathogens and plant symbionts, have more than one stable large replicon. Some secondary replicons are species-specific, carrying pathogenicity or symbiotic factors. Other replicons are common on at least the genus level, carry ho...
