Subminimal inhibitory concentrations of ampicillin and mechanical stimuli cooperatively promote cell-to-cell plasmid transformation in Escherichia coli

Subminimal inhibitory concentrations of ampicillin and mechanical stimuli cooperatively promote cell-to-cell plasmid transformation in Escherichia coli

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a bacterial evolution tool for improved survival. Although several environmental stimuli induce or promote HGT, the diversity and complexity of the environmental factors have not been sufficiently elucidated. In this study, we showed that the biofilm culture of Esch...
