Prevalence and mobility of integrative and conjugative elements within a streptomyces natural population

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: AICE and colleagues from the University of Tu00fcbingen, Germany have published the Article: Prevalence and mobility of integrative and conjugative elements within a Streptomyces natural population, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that these elements are prevalent, diverse, and responsible for high levels of HGT and discuss how these elements contribute to the evolution and the adaptation of Streptomyces to their rhizosphere environment. By analyzing the AICE content of exconjugants isolated from several pocks, the authors show that multiple AICE transfers can occur in a single mating.
