Résumé

In the ocean, free-living bacteria exist in a dilute world where direct physical interactions between cells are relatively rare. How then do they exchange genetic information via horizontal gene transfer (HGT)? Lücking et al. have explored the world of marine 'protected extracellular DNA' (peDNA), and find that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are likely to play an important role.
