Prophage-like gene transfer agents promote Caulobacter crescentus survival and DNA repair during stationary phase
<jats:p>Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are prophage-like entities found in many bacterial genomes that cannot propagate themselves and instead package approximately 5 to 15 kbp fragments of the host genome that can then be transferred to related recipient cells. Although suggested to facilitate h...
