Instead, we observed an illegitimate integration of the antibiotic resistance gene from the plasmid into the recombinant cells. Genome sequencing of the transformants has provided evidence that this illegitimate integration is not size-, site-or sequence-specific. But even more surprising, genome sequencing revealed the presence of an unexpected circular multicopy replicative element (75–80 kb) that appears to be excised from the chromosome as a consequence of the stress generated by the antibiotic used in the selection process. The excised fragment does not contain any of the typical features of genomic islands. These results provide evidence that the genome of this oleaginous strain is more plastic than initially anticipated and our findings open the option of developing new ways to genetically modify this strain by using illegitimate recombinant approaches. But even more remarkably, the discovery of this atypical replicative element raises new questions about the existence of novel mechanisms of evolution in bacteria.This work has been carried out in the framework of the European project FRONTSH1P, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 101037031.Peer reviewedFrontiers MediaEuropean CommissionAcedos, Miguel G.
