A Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon, CTnERL, Can Transfer a Portion of Itself by Conjugation without Excising from the Chromosome

CTnERL, a Bacteroides conjugative transposon, transferred DNA by an Hfr-type mechanism during conjugation when it was excision deficient due to an insertion in the integrase gene. Rescue of the conjugative transposon sequences required the recipient to be RecA proficient and to contain an integrated...
