Natural Transformation Facilitates Transfer of Transposons, Integrons and Gene Cassettes between Bacterial Species

We have investigated to what extent natural transformation acting on free DNA substrates can facilitate transfer of mobile elements including transposons, integrons and/or gene cassettes between bacterial species. Naturally transformable cells of Acinetobacter baylyi were exposed to DNA from integro...
