Biological and genetic factors regulating natural competence in a bacterial plant pathogen
For naturally competent bacteria, spatially structured growth can provide an environment for enhanced horizontal gene transfer through transformation and recombination. DNA is often present in the ...
Effects of DNA Size on Transformation and Recombination Efficiencies in Xylella fastidiosa
Horizontally transferred DNA acquired through transformation and recombination has the potential to contribute to the diversity and evolution of naturally competent bacteria. However, many differen...
Natural Competence and Recombination in the Plant Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa
Homologous recombination is one of many forces contributing to the diversity, adaptation, and emergence of pathogens. For naturally competent bacteria, transformation is one possible route for the ...
