This project investigates the evolutionary role of plasmids in bacterial communities, particularly within the rumen of ruminants. By analyzing the interactions between plasmids and their microbial hosts, it aims to uncover the dynamics of gene transfer and microbial evolution.
Plasmids are known to be major contributors to lateral gene transfer in bacterial genomes; however, their comprehensive evolutionary role within bacterial communities is poorly understood.
Recently we have developed cutting edge abilities to access a plasmid population (plasmidome) of a given microbial community, and applied them to rumen microbial communities.
These abilities are an element long-needed for the study of microbial lateral gene transfer and evolution.
Ruminants house a highly comp…
