Bacterial capabilities to degrade various recalcitrant compounds are often encoded on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as transposons, plasmids, and integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs). The movement of the transposons and consequently induced rearrangements of genome in a cell and the intercellular transfer of the latter two MGEs greatly facilitate rapid adaptation and evolution of the host cells and wide dissemination of catabolic genes and gene clusters in a variety of phylogenetically distinct environmental bacteria. This chapter summarizes how MGEs participate in the emergence of degradative bacteria based on the earlier and recent findings and analysis of catabolic MGEs in pseudomonads.
