Functional Biogeography as Evidence of Gene Transfer in Hypersaline Microbial Communities
(PLos One, 2010-09-23)
BackgroundHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in speciation and evolution of bacteria and archaea by controlling gene distribution within an environment. However, information that links HGT to a natural ...
Ultrasound-Mediated DNA Transformation in Thermophilic Gram-Positive Anaerobes
(PLos One, 2010-09-04)
BackgroundThermophilic, Gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria (TGPAs) are generally recalcitrant to chemical and electrotransformation due to their special cell-wall structure and the low intrinsic permeability of plasma ...
