3rdcategory | Probable conjugation |
Function | A gene cluster on the Rickettsia bellii RML 369-C chromosome coding for 12 of the 17 F tra genes represents the most intact Tra system identified to date for Rickettsia organisms. This gene cluster might elaborate a functional T4SS, as further suggested by electron microscopy images showing the presence of F-like sex pili extending from Rickettsia bellii cell surfaces and forming cell-to-cell contacts. |
