Functional biogeography as evidence of gene transfer in hypersaline microbial communities.

Functional biogeography as evidence of gene transfer in hypersaline microbial communities.

BACKGROUND: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in speciation and evolution of bacteria and archaea by controlling gene distribution within an environment. However, information that links HGT to a natural community using relevant population-genetics parameters and spatial consideration...
