Mycobacterial Biofilms Facilitate Horizontal DNA Transfer between Strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis

Conjugal transfer of chromosomal DNA between strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis occurs by a novel mechanism. In a transposon mutagenesis screen, three transfer-defective insertions were mapped to the lsr2 gene of the donor strain mc(2)155. Because lsr2 encodes a nonspecific DNA-binding protein, muta...
