PHYLOGENETIC STUDY OF GEITLERINEMA AND MICROCYSTIS ( CYANOBACTERIA) USING PC-IGS AND 16S-23S ITS AS MARKERS: INVESTIGATION OF HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-08-01)
Selection of genes that have not been horizontally transferred for prokaryote phylogenetic inferences is regarded as a challenging task. The markers internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal genes (16S-23S ITS) and phycocyanin ...
Phylogenetic study of Geitlerinema and Microcystis (Cyanobacteria) using PC-IGS and 16S-23S ITS as markers: Investigation of horizontal gene transfer
(2014-01-01)
Selection of genes that have not been horizontally transferred for prokaryote phylogenetic inferences is regarded as a challenging task. The markers internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal genes (16S-23S ITS) and phycocyanin ...
Laterally transferred genomic islands in Xanthomonadales related to pathogenicity and primary metabolism
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is considered as one of the drivers in bacterial genome evolution, usually associated with increased fitness and/or changes in behavior, especially if one considers pathogenic vs. non-pathogenic ...
Horizontal gene transfer has impacted cox1 gene evolution in Cassytha filiformis
(Springer, 2020-03)
The gene cox1 is one of the most reported mitochondrial genes involved in horizontal gene transfer among angiosperms. However, whether different cox1 copies exist in different populations of a species and whether any other ...
Replacement of the arginine biosynthesis operon in Xanthomonadales by ateral gene transfer
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The role of lateral gene transfer (LGT) in prokaryotes has been shown to rapidly change the genome content, providing new gene tools for environmental adaptation. Features related to pathogenesis and resistance to strong ...
Transfer of KPC-2 carbapenemase from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Enterobacter cloacae in a patient receiving meropenem therapy
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-07-01)
The horizontal transfer of a plasmid bearing the bla(Kpc-2) gene from K. pneumoniae to E. cloacae infecting the respiratory tract of a patient during meropenem therapy was elucidated. This finding is particularly worrisome, ...
Metazoan Ribosome Inactivating Protein encoding genes acquired by Horizontal Gene Transfer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)
Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases that depurinate a specific adenine residue in the conserved sarcin/ricin loop of 28S rRNA. These enzymes are widely distributed among plants and their presence ...
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)
There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ...
