Adaptive dif Modules in Permafrost Strains of Acinetobacter lwoffii and Their Distribution and Abundance Among Present Day Acinetobacter Strains

The dif/Xer system of site-specific recombination allows resolution of chromosomal dimers during bacterial DNA replication. Recently, it was also shown to be involved in horizontal transfer of a few known Xer-dependent mobile elements. Here, we show that plasmids of various Acinetobacter species, in...
