Ordering the bestiary of genetic elements transmissible by conjugation [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2013 Phylogenetic reconstruction of three highly conserved proteins involved in bacterial conjugation (relaxase, coupling protein and a type IV secretion system ATPase) allowed the classification of transmissible elements in relaxase MOB families and mating pair formation MPF groups.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Conjugal transfer is a major driving force of genetic exchange in eubacteria, and the system in IncP1-type broad-host-range plasmids transfers DNA even to eukaryotes and archaea in a process known as trans-kingdom conjugation (TKC).

Modeling, Simulation and Application of Bacterial Transduction in Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
, 2009 At present, all methods in Evolutionary Computation are bioinspired in the fundamental principles of neo-Darwinism as well as on a vertical gene transfer. Thus, on a mechanism in which an organism receives genetic material from its ancestor.

Conjugative transfer of ICESde3396 between three β-hemolytic streptococcal species [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that possess all genes necessary for excision, transfer and integration into recipient genome. They also carry accessory genes that impart new phenotypic features to

Genetic and physiological analysis of conjugation in Streptococcus faecalis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 In an effort to elucidate the mechanisms of conjugal plasmid transfer in Streptococcus faecalis, a genetic analysis of the sex pheromone-dependent tetracycline resistance plasmid pCF-10 was initiated. Rare transconjugants obtained from short matings with wild-type donors not exposed to sex pheromones were screened for increased donor potential in a ...

Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
, 2012 Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

The distribution of plasmids that carry virulence and resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is major human and animal pathogen. Plasmids often carry resistance genes and virulence genes that can disseminate through S. aureus populations by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms. Sequences of S.

Crosstalk Between Type VI Secretion System and Mobile Genetic Elements
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2019 Many bacterial processes require cell-cell contacts. Such are the cases of bacterial conjugation, one of the main horizontal gene transfer mechanisms that physically spreads DNA, and the type VI secretion systems (T6SSs), which deploy antibacterial ...

High-throughput, quantitative analyses of genetic interactions in E. coli. [PDF]
, 2008 Large-scale genetic interaction studies provide the basis for defining gene function and pathway architecture. Recent advances in the ability to generate double mutants en masse in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have dramatically accelerated the acquisition of

The Effect of Outer Space and Other Environmental Cues on Bacterial Conjugation
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacterial conjugation is one of the most abundant horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms, playing a fundamental role in prokaryote evolution. A better understanding of bacterial conjugation and its cross talk with the environment is needed for a more ...
