Interaction with eukaryotic cells enhances the circularization and transcription of integrative and conjugative elements in Mycoplasma hominis

Abstract Mobile genetic elements drive bacterial evolution by promoting genetic plasticity and adaptation; among them, mycoplasma Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) challenge the notion that mycoplasmas evolved solely through genome reduction. However, they remain poorly characterized, part...
