Diverse conjugative elements silence natural transformation in <i>Legionella</i> species

2019-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Natural transformation, i.e. the uptake of DNA and its stable integration in the chromosome, is a major mechanism of horizontal gene transfer and is common in bacteria. The vast majority of bacterial genomes carry the specific genes involved in natural transformation, yet only a fraction of species are deemed naturally transformable. This is typically explained by the inability of standard laboratory conditions t...
