Environmental conditions regulating gene transfer in Rhodobacter capsulatus
Rhodobacter capsulatus is a metabolically versatile α-proteobacterium that produces a bacteriophage-like particle called the gene transfer agent (RcGTA) that is capable of mediating horizontal gene transfer. RcGTA particles transfer random 4.5 kb fragments of genomic DNA that integrate into recipien...
