Natural competence promotes high rates of DNA transfer between strains of the core bee gut bacterium Snodgrassella alvi

A. H. M. Zuberi Ashraf, Kadena K. Weaver, Patrick J. Lariviere, Jeffrey E. Barrick

The paper discovers that Snodgrassella alvi, a core bee gut bacterium, is naturally competent, enabling high rates of DNA transfer between strains, which has implications for its evolution and potential microbiome engineering applications.
