Identification of the Natural Transformation Genes in Riemerella anatipestifer by Random Transposon Mutagenesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 In our previous study, it was shown that Riemerella anatipestifer, a Gram-negative bacterium, is naturally competent, but the genes involved in the process of natural transformation remain largely unknown.

Involvement of the Histone-Like Nucleoid Structuring Protein (H-NS) in Acinetobacter baumannii’s Natural Transformation [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Most Acinetobacter baumannii strains are naturally competent. Although some information is available about factors that enhance or reduce the frequency of the transformation of this bacterium, the regulatory elements and mechanisms are barely understood.

Novel Flp pilus biogenesis-dependent natural transformation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Natural transformation has been described in bacterial species spread through nearly all major taxonomic groups. However, the current understanding of the structural components and the regulation of competence development is derived from only a few model

Impact of chemicals and physical stressors on horizontal gene transfer via natural transformation
Nature Water, 2023 Contaminants in the environment can increase natural transformation rates in bacteria. However, the co-occurrence of a large suite of contaminants may result in final transformation rates that are not based on the geometric addition of individual ...
