Bacterial evolution: bacteria play pass the gene.

N J Saunders1, D W Hood, E R Moxon.   

Abstract

DNA transfer between related bacterial species is enhanced by species-specific uptake sequences. These sequences have been used to identify genes that have been transferred from Haemophilus to Neisseria, providing a clear example of interspecific transfer of DNA in the evolution of the pathogenic Neisseria.
