Gene transfer agent, molecular model
Molecular model of a gene transfer agent (GTA), a virus-like particle produced by some bacteria that mediates horizontal gene transfer. GTAs package a small fragment of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from one bacterial cell and injects it into another bacterial cell. Such horizontal gene transfer plays a role in antimicrobial resistance., by EQUINOX GRAPHICS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
