A Polymorphic Gene within the Mycobacterium smegmatis esx1 Locus Determines Mycobacterial Self-Identity and Conjugal Compatibility

Mycobacteria mediate horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by a process called distributive conjugal transfer (DCT) that is mechanistically distinct from oriT-mediated plasmid transfer. The transfer of multiple, independent donor chromosome segments generates transconjugants with genomes that are mosaic bl...
