Gene Transfer Agents in Plant Pathogenic Bacteria: Comparative Mobilomics, Genomic Survey and Recombinogenic Impacts

2019-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are phage-like mediators of gene transfer in bacterial species. Typically, strains of a bacteria species which have GTA shows more recombination than strains without GTAs. GTA-mediated gene transfer activity has been shown for few bacteria, with Rhodobacter capsulatus being the prototypical GTA. GTA have not been previously studied in plant pathogenic bacteria. A r...
