Giant extrachromosomal element “Inocle” potentially expands the adaptive capacity of the human oral microbiome

Abstract Survival strategy of bacteria is expanded by extrachromosomal elements (ECEs). However, their genetic diversity and functional roles for adaptability are largely unknown. Here, we discover a novel family of intracellular ECEs using 56 saliva samples by developing an efficient microbial DNA...
