Bacterial species and surface structures shape gene transfer and the transcriptional landscape during active conjugation

Galain C. Williams, Jillian C Danne, Simon Crawford, Jihane Homman‐Ludiye, Xenia Kostoulias, Bailey Heron, Tasnia Islam, Melvin Yong, Yunn‐Hwen Gan, Yogitha N. Srikhanta, Dena Lyras

The paper shows active conjugation triggers host transcriptional changes, which are blocked by capsule expression but overcome by plasmid-driven single-cell variation.
