Efficient plasmid transfer via natural competence in a microbial co‐culture

Efficient plasmid transfer via natural competence in a microbial co‐culture

Abstract The molecular and ecological factors shaping horizontal gene transfer (HGT) via natural transformation in microbial communities are largely unknown, which is critical for understanding the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant pathogens. We investigate key factors shaping HGT in a microbial co‐...
