Prevalence and mobility of integrative and conjugative elements within a Streptomyces natural population

Prevalence and mobility of integrative and conjugative elements within a Streptomyces natural population

Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is a powerful force generating genomic diversity in bacterial populations. HGT in Streptomyces is in large part driven by conjugation thanks to plasmids, Integrative and Conjugative elements (ICEs) and Actinomycete ICEs (AICEs). To investigate the impact of ICE and AIC...
