Molecular Mechanisms That Contribute to Horizontal Transfer of Plasmids by the Bacteriophage SPP1

Natural transformation and viral-mediated transduction are the main avenues of horizontal gene transfer in Firmicutes. Bacillus subtilis SPP1 is a generalized transducing bacteriophage. Using this lytic phage as a model, we have analyzed how viral replication and recombination systems contribute to...
