Linear dicentric chromosomes in bacterial natural isolates reveal common constraints for replicon fusion

ABSTRACT Multipartite bacterial genome organization can confer advantages, including coordinated gene regulation and faster genome replication, but is challenging to maintain. Agrobacterium tumefaciens lineages often contain a circular chromosome (Ch1), a linear chromosome (Ch2), and multiple plasmi...
