Catabolic pathway acquisition by rhizosphere bacteria readily enables growth with a root exudate component but does not affect root colonization by Stephan Christel, Alyssa A. Carrell, Leah H. Hochanadel, Manuel I. Villalobos Solis, Paul E. Abraham, Sara S. Jawdy, Julie E. Chaves, Nancy L. Engle, Timkhite-Kulu Berhane, Tao Yao, Jin-Gui Chen, Wellington Muchero, Timothy J. Tschaplinski, Melissa A. Cregger, Joshua K. Michener

“…We propose that this condition is common and that HGT of many pathways will be self-limiting because the selective benefits are small.IMPORTANCEHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a key process in microbial evolution, but the factors limiting HGT are poorly understood. Aside from the rather unique scenario of antibiotic resistance, the evolutionary benefits of pathway acquisition are still unclear. …”
