The role of hosts, plasmids and environment in determining plasmid transfer rates: A meta-analysis.
Plasmid, 2020 Plasmids transfer at highly variable rates which spread over 10 orders of magnitude. While rates have been measured for decades and it is known that the rates are affected by biotic and abiotic factors, it is unclear how and to what extent these factors ...
