Plasmid-Mediated Stabilization of Prophages

Plasmid-Mediated Stabilization of Prophages

ABSTRACT Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drive bacterial evolution, alter gene availability within microbial communities, and facilitate adaptation to ecological niches. In natural systems, bacteria simultaneously possess or encounter multiple MGEs, yet their combined influences on microbial communit...
