Conjugative Selectivity of Plasmids Is Affected by Coexisting Recipient Candidates
ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanisms underlying plasmid behavior under conditions of various environments is important to predict the fate of plasmids in nature. Most previous studies on plasmid transfer employed two strains: one as a donor and the other as a recipient. However, in natural environm...
