Plasmid Biology, Conjugation, and Transposition

摘要: The movement of genes between strains and species the rearrangement genetic material within genome are critical factors in bacterial evolution. importance these processes to bacteria is matched by their value for development tools with which characterize manipulate individual strains. In this regard, lactic acid (LAB) well endowed, possessing a rich complement plasmids transposable elements. Natural gene transfer also relevance safety evaluation GM microorganisms. Given potential LAB exploitation food health, understanding important establishment scientific framework support regulatory decision making. chapter some aspects biology elements will be reviewed.
