Plasmid pSfr64a and the symbiotic plasmid pSfr64b of Sinorhizobium fredii GR64 control each other's conjugative transfer through quorum-sensing elements
L Cervantes, F Miranda-Sánchez, GT Tejerizo… - Plasmid, 2019 - Elsevier
Rhizobia are nitrogen-fixing symbionts of plants. Their genomes frequently contain large
plasmids, some of which are able to perform conjugative transfer. Plasmid pSfr64a from …
