A nice story by Ami Bhatt's lab.
A transposable element insertion upstream of a folate transporter formed a strong promoter, increasing transcription and improving relative fitness under folate limitation.
We have recently reported that folate biosynthesis

Here is it! Super new science from us on horizontal gene transfer & bact defense systems! Liyana OW YONG discovered the first-of-its-kind defense factor AbjA that triggers 'abortive conjugation' as a defense mechanism, by targeting the T4SS! How neat?! #MicroSky 1/7
