Abstract: Competence for DNA transformation is a major strategy for bacterial adaptation and survival. Yet, this successful tactic is energy-consuming, shifts dramatically the metabolism, and transitory impairs the regular cell-cycle. In streptococci, complex regulatory pathways control… read more here.
