This study investigates the activation and transfer of ICEclc-like elements in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing that excision can be induced by stressors like copper and that excision and conjugation are uncoupled processes.

This study shows BisD, a ParB-like protein, coordinates gene activation and DNA segregation in ICEclc transfer competence development in Pseudomonas putida.

The paper identifies population-level control of two Mn oxidase genes in Pseudomonas putida, revealing how gene expression patterns regulate Mn biomineralization in microbial communities.

The paper investigates the role of SgaCD in SGI1 mobilization, showing it activates AcaCD-responsive promoters and is essential for SGI1 excision, replication, and destabilization of IncC plasmids.

The paper identifies a regulatory cascade controlling bistable transfer competence in ICEclc, showing it acts as an analog-to-digital converter through a feedback loop.
