Regulation of intracellular cAMP levels and competence development in haemophilus influenzae by a phosphoenolpyruvate : fructose phosphotransferase system
Diverse and distantly-related bacteria can develop competence for natural transformation. Competent cells can bind free extracellular DNA, transport it into the cytoplasm, and sometimes recombine it into the chromosome. Competence has a long evolutionary history and is therefore expected to signi...
