Vertical and horizontal gene transfer tradeoffs direct plasmid fitness

Abstract Plasmid fitness is directed by two orthogonal processes—vertical transfer through cell division and horizontal transfer through conjugation. When considered individually, improvements in either mode of transfer can promote how well a plasmid spreads and persists. Together, however, the meta...
