Horizontal gene transfer and cooperation in bacteria
Bacteria are capable of a wide range of cooperative behaviours. It has been suggested that horizontal gene transfer, which is common in bacteria, could help to stabilise cooperation and prevent the invasion of non-cooperative cheats. Research on this hypothesis has largely focused on plasmids: genet...
