DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03470-22
Abstract: Bacteria can take up extracellular DNA (eDNA) by natural transformation (NT). Many bacteria, including Deinococcus radiodurans, have constitutive competence systems and can take up eDNA throughout their growth phase. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA uptake by certain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12866-017-1004-8
Abstract: BackgroundDNA processing chain A (DprA) is a DNA binding protein which is ubiquitous in bacteria, and is required for DNA transformation to various extents among bacterial species. However, the interaction of DprA with competence and… read more here.
