Exploring the eco-evolutionary role of plasmids and defense systems in ‘Fervidacidithiobacillus caldus’ extreme acidophile

Plasmids are major drivers of microbial evolution, enabling horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and facilitating adaptation through the dissemination of relevant functional genes and traits. However, little is known about plasmid diversity and function in extremophiles. ‘Fervidacidithiobacillus caldus’,...
