Gene Transfers and Environment Proceedings of the Third European Meeting on Bacterial Genetics and Ecology (BAGECO-3), 20–22 November 1991, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France
Provided here is an up-to-date survey of gene transfers in the main natural habitats, with a special reference to genetically engineered microorganisms.In the first of five sections technical approaches of gene transfer in the natural environment are developed. These emphasize the use of modernmetho...
