结合质粒转移是细菌传递和获取遗传信息以应对快速变化的环境条件的最重要的机制。介绍了水生和陆地生境中共轭质粒转移的最新知识，包括特别关注的环境，如农业区和受污染的土壤和沉积物。讨论了自然界中影响水平基因转移的环境因素。在现场监测工具的设计，以评估自然界的共轭质粒转移和实验室模型系统，以模拟环境条件的最新进展进行了严格审查。介绍了水平基因转移对生物降解的影响，以及复杂微生物群落中共轭质粒转移模型的最新方法。
Conjugative plasmid transfer is the most important mechanism for bacteria to deliver and acquire genetic information to cope with rapidly changing environmental conditions. An update of knowledge of conjugative plasmid transfer in aquatic and terrestrial habitats, including environments of particular concern such as agricultural areas and contaminated soils and sediments, is presented. Environmental factors affecting horizontal gene transfer in nature are discussed. Recent advances in the design of in situ monitoring tools to assess conjugative plasmid transfer in nature and laboratory model systems to simulate environmental conditions are critically reviewed. The impacts of horizontal gene transfer on biodegradation as well as recent approaches to model conjugative plasmid transfer in complex microbial communities are presented.
