Transfer of the Integrative and Conjugative Element ICESt3 of Streptococcus thermophilus in Physiological Conditions Mimicking the Human Digestive Ecosystem

Transfer of the Integrative and Conjugative Element ICESt3 of Streptococcus thermophilus in Physiological Conditions Mimicking the Human Digestive Ecosystem

ABSTRACT Metagenome analyses of the human microbiome suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequent in these rich and complex microbial communities. However, so far, only a few HGT studies have been conducted in vivo. In this work, three different systems mimicking the physiological conditi...
