Packaging of Genetic Material by Gene Transfer Agents (GTAs) Produced by Marine <em>Roseobacter</em> Species and Their Effect on Stimulating Bacterial Growth
Horizontal gene transfer is one of the most important mechanisms for prokaryotic genome innovation and evolution. Gene Transfer Agents (GTAs) are phage-like particles that package small fragments of the genome of a GTA-producing bacterial cell. GTA chromosomal gene clusters usually contain 15-conser...
