Beyond horizontal gene transfer: the role of plasmids in bacterial evolution

Plasmids and temperate phages are key contributors to bacterial evolution. They are usually regarded as very distinct. However, some elements, termed phage–plasmids, are known to be both plasmids and phages, e.g. P1, N15 or SSU5. The number, distribution,

Pathways for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria revealed by a global map of their plasmids
Plasmids can mediate horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and other adaptive factors across bacterial populations. Here, we analyze genomic composition and pairwise sequence identity for over 10,000 reference plasmids to ...

Plasmids are genetic elements that colonize and replicate in prokaryotic cells (Box 1). They are considered a major driving force of prokaryote evolution, as they can migrate between populations, making them potent agents of lateral DNA transfer and microbial warfare.

Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium as conjugative plasmids
Nature, 1977THE relationship of the plant-oncogenic properties of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to the presence in these strains of large plasmids (the Ti plasmids) has now been convincingly demonstrated in several ways: oncogenic strains cured of the Ti plasmid lose their oncogenicity irreversibly1–3; transfer of Ti plasmids to non-oncogenic plasmidless strains ...
