Estimating the rate of plasmid transfer with an adapted Luria–Delbrück fluctuation analysis

2021-01-06

Abstract excerpt

To increase our basic understanding of the ecology and evolution of conjugative plasmids, we need a reliable estimate of their rate of transfer between bacterial cells. However, accurate estimates of plasmid transfer have remained elusive due to biological and experimental complexity. Current methods to measure transfer rate can be confounded by many factors. A notable example involves plasmid transfer between dif...
