Extracellular Polysaccharide Receptor and Receptor-Binding Proteins of the <i>Rhodobacter capsulatus</i> Bacteriophage-like Gene Transfer Agent RcGTA

Extracellular Polysaccharide Receptor and Receptor-Binding Proteins of the <i>Rhodobacter capsulatus</i> Bacteriophage-like Gene Transfer Agent RcGTA

A variety of prokaryotes produce a bacteriophage-like gene transfer agent (GTA), and the alphaproteobacterial <i>Rhodobacter capsulatus</i> RcGTA is a model GTA. Some environmental isolates of <i>R. capsulatus</i> lack the ability to acquire genes transferred by the RcGTA (re...
