Real-time visualisation of the intracellular dynamics of conjugative plasmid transfer
Conjugation is a contact-dependent mechanism for the transfer of plasmid DNA between bacterial cells. Here, Couturier et al. use live-cell microscopy to visualise the intracellular dynamics of conjugation in real time, revealing a molecular strategy that allows the sequential production of factors i...

| description | Conjugation is a contact-dependent mechanism for the transfer of plasmid DNA between bacterial cells. Here, Couturier et al. use live-cell microscopy to visualise the intracellular dynamics of conjugation in real time, revealing a molecular strategy that allows the sequential production of factors involved in establishing, maintaining and disseminating the plasmid. |
