Timing of integration into the chromosome is critical for the fitness of an integrative and conjugative element and its bacterial host

2022-11-15

Abstract excerpt

Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are major contributors to genome plasticity in bacteria. ICEs reside integrated in the chromosome of a host bacterium and are passively propagated during chromosome replication and cell division. When activated, ICEs excise from the chromosome and may be transferred through the ICE-encoded conjugation machinery into a recipient cell. Integration into the chromosome of th...
