Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes)

  • C. Citti,
  • E. Dordet-Frisoni,
  • L.X. Nouvel,
  • CH Kuo and
  • E. Baranowski

The class Mollicutes (trivial name "mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses. Recent evidences of massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) within and across sp...

Horizontal Gene Transfer in Thermus spp.

  • Alba Blesa,
  • Beate Averhoff and
  • José Berenguer

The small amount of genetic content in thermophiles generally limits their adaptability to environmental changes. In Thermus spp., very active horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms allow the rapid spread of strain-specific adaptive gene modules a...
