The transjugation machinery of Thermus thermophilus: Identification of TdtA, an ATPase involved in DNA donation

In addition to natural competence, some Thermus thermophilus strains show a high rate of DNA transfer via direct cell-to-cell contact. The process is bidirectional and follows a two-step model where the donor cell actively pushes out DNA and the recipient cell employs the natural competence system t...
