Transient Replication in Specialized Cells Favors Transfer of an Integrative and Conjugative Element
ABSTRACT Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are widespread mobile DNA within bacterial genomes, whose lifestyle is relatively poorly understood. ICEs transmit vertically through donor cell chromosome replication, but in order to transfer, they have to excise from the chromosome. The excisio...
