Compensatory mutations reducing the fitness cost of plasmid carriage occur in plant rhizosphere communities

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: FE Microbiology Ecology and colleagues from the School of Biosciences, University of Sheffield, Alfred Denny Building, Western Bank, Sheffield , TN, United Kingdom have published the article: Compensatory mutations reducing the fitness cost of plasmid carriage occur in plant rhizosphere communities, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of October/21,/2022
• what: The authors show a substantial fitness cost of carrying the large conjugative plasmid pQBR103 in Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 in the plant rhizosphere. Using competition experiments with defined mutants, the authors show that loss of either the two-component system gacA/gacS or the hypothetical gene . . .
