DNA transfer between two different species mediated by heterologous cell fusion in Clostridium coculture
ABSTRACT Prokaryotic evolution is driven by random mutations and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). HGT occurs via transformation, transduction, or conjugation. We have previously shown that in syntrophic cocultures of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii, heterologous cell fusion lea...
