Even in the early 2000s with but a handful of genomes available, it became clear that the nature of microorganisms is full of genetic exchange between lineages that are sometimes far apart. The years following this saw an explosion of genomic data, which shook the "tree of life" and also raised doubts about the most appropriate species concepts for prokaryotes. This book represents the manyfold contributions of LGT to the evolution of micro and, to an extent, macroorganisms by focusing on the areas where it has the largest impact: metabolic innovations and adaptations and speciation. 606 $aGenetic transformation 606 $aEvolution 615 0$aGenetic transformation. 615 0$aEvolution. 676 $a616.042 701 $aGophna$b Uri$01756708 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437615403321 996 $aLateral gene transfer in evolution$94194157 997 $aUNINA
