• Mechanisms of, and Barriers to, Horizontal Gene Transfer between Bacteria (2005, methodology): “For an excellent recent review of DNA uptake during natural transformation, we refer to Chen and Dubna”
• Stimulus Perception in Bacterial Signal-Transducing Histidine Kinases (2006, background): “This ultimately leads to the activation of the competence transcription factor ComK, which controls the expression of genes encoding the DNA uptake and recombination machinery (37, 93).”
• Persistence of Environmental DNA in Freshwater Ecosystems (2011, background): “UV radiation [28] and DNA uptake by micro-organisms, as source of nutriments (carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous) and to repair their own DNA damages [29], contribute also to damage and decrease DNA molecules density.”
• Bacterial exposure to ZnO nanoparticles facilitates horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (2018, background): “In addition to conjugative transfer, transformation (which is the acquisition of the extracellular DNA into bacterial strains (Chen and Dubnau, 2004)) plays an important role in the propagation of ARGs.”
• Cycling of extracellular DNA in the soil environment (2007, background): “Lateral gene transfer has been extensively researched and is the subject of numerous reviews, including Lorenz and Wackernagel (1994), England and Trevors (2003), Chen and Dubnau (2004), de Vries and Wackernagel (2004).”
• Stochastic mechano-chemical kinetics of molecular motors: A multidisciplinary enterprise from a physicist’s perspective (2012, background): “The natural process of genetic transformation in bacteria [1375, 1372, 1376, 1377] by DNA uptake from extracellular environment is driven by a machinery whose main component is pseudopilus, which has several structural similarities with type IV pili that we have mentioned earlier in the section 20.”
