Bacteria integrate genetic material from other bacterial strains more easily than previously thought, which can lead to improved fitness and accelerated evolution. This is shown in a recent study by biophysicists at the University of Cologne. The team analyzed genome transfer between bacteria of different lineages. The study was published in the journal PNAS.
In the experiment, the team brought one strain of bacteria into contact with DNA fragments from another strain. The uptake of foreign genetic…
