Horizontal Transfer of Symbiosis Genes within and Between Rhizobial Genera: Occurrence and Importance
Rhizobial symbiosis genes are often carried on symbiotic islands or plasmids that can be transferred (horizontal transfer) between different bacterial species. Symbiosis genes involved in horizontal transfer have different phylogenies with respect to the core genome of their ‘host&rsqu...
