Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics of Episomes among Ecologically Cohesive Bacterial Populations

Although plasmids and other episomes are recognized as key players in horizontal gene transfer among microbes, their diversity and dynamics among ecologically structured host populations in the wild remain poorly understood. Here, we show that natural populations of marine Vibrionaceae bacteria host...
