DNA Gyrase Inhibitors Increase the Frequency of Bacteriophage-like RcGTA-Mediated Gene Transfer in <i>Rhodobacter capsulatus</i>
<i>Rhodobacter capsulatus</i> produces a bacteriophage-like particle called the gene transfer agent (RcGTA) that mediates horizontal gene transfer. RcGTA particles transfer random ~4.5-kb fragments of genomic DNA that integrate into recipient genomes by allelic replacement. This work add...
