The Effect of Outer Space and Other Environmental Cues on Bacterial Conjugation

The Effect of Outer Space and Other Environmental Cues on Bacterial Conjugation

ABSTRACT Bacterial conjugation is one of the most abundant horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms, playing a fundamental role in prokaryote evolution. A better understanding of bacterial conjugation and its cross talk with the environment is needed for a more complete understanding of HGT mechani...
