An epigenetic switch activates bacterial quorum sensing and horizontal transfer of an integrative and conjugative element

An epigenetic switch activates bacterial quorum sensing and horizontal transfer of an integrative and conjugative element

Horizontal transfer of the integrative and conjugative element ICEMlSymR7A converts non-symbiotic Mesorhizobium spp. into nitrogen-fixing legume symbionts. Here, we discover subpopulations of Mesorhizobium japonicum R7A become epigenetically primed for quorum-sensing (QS) and QS-activated horizontal...
