The ampicillin‐resistance transposon Tn3is the archetype (“Tn3” being synonymous with
“Tn1” or “Tn2”;(1)) of a large and widespread family of transposons with representatives in …

Plasmids are genetic elements that play a role in bacterial evolution by providing new genes
that promote adaptation to diverse conditions. Plasmids are also known to reduce bacterial …

Plasmid conjugation is one of the dominant mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, playing
a noticeable role in the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Broad host range …

The exposure of bacteria to pollutants induces frequently chemoattraction or chemorepellent
reactions. Recent research suggests that the capacity to degrade a toxic compound has co …

Bacterial chemotaxis is an adaptive behaviour, which requires sophisticated information‐
processing capabilities that cause motile bacteria to either move towards or flee from …

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa 96 (PA96) was isolated during a multicenter
surveillance study in Guangzhou, China, in 2000. Whole-genome sequencing of this …

Over the past few decades, degradative plasmids have been isolated from bacteria capable
of degrading a variety of both natural and man-made compounds. Degradative plasmids …

Carbazole degradation by several bacterial strains, including Pseudomonas resinovorans
CA10, has been investigated over the last two decades. As the initial reaction in degradation …

A significant number of bacterial strains are able to use toxic aromatic hydrocarbons as
carbon and energy sources. In a number of cases, the evolution of the corresponding …

A number of bacteria can use toxic compounds as carbon sources and have developed
complex regulatory networks to protect themselves from the toxic effects of these compounds …
