Evolution of satellite plasmids can prolong the maintenance of newly acquired accessory genes in bacteria
Transmissible plasmids spread genes encoding antibiotic resistance and other traits to new bacterial species. Here we report that laboratory populations of Escherichia coli with a newly acquired IncQ plasmid often evolve ‘satellite plasmids’ with deletions of accessory genes and genes required for p...
