Differences in Integron Cassette Excision Dynamics Shape a Trade-Off between Evolvability and Genetic Capacitance
ABSTRACT Integrons ensure a rapid and “on demand” response to environmental stresses driving bacterial adaptation. They are able to capture, store, and reorder functional gene cassettes due to site-specific recombination catalyzed by their integrase. Integrons can be either sedentary and chromosomal...
