Abstract: Abstract Bacterial adaptation is largely shaped by horizontal gene transfer, xenogeneic silencing mediated by lineage-specific DNA bridgers (H-NS, Lsr2, MvaT and Rok), and various anti-silencing mechanisms. No xenogeneic silencing DNA bridger is known for α-proteobacteria,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes14020274
Abstract: There are ubiquitous variations in symbiotic performance of different rhizobial strains associated with the same legume host in agricultural practices. This is due to polymorphisms of symbiosis genes and/or largely unexplored variations in integration efficiency… read more here.

Horizontal Transfer of Symbiosis Genes within and Between Rhizobial Genera: Occurrence and Importance
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Genes"
DOI: 10.3390/genes9070321
Abstract: Rhizobial symbiosis genes are often carried on symbiotic islands or plasmids that can be transferred (horizontal transfer) between different bacterial species. Symbiosis genes involved in horizontal transfer have different phylogenies with respect to the core… read more here.
