  Abstract

Studies on Firmicute bacteria from the gut are hampered by lack of gene transfer systems. Here the human colonic anaerobe Roseburia inulinivorans A2-194 was shown to be a transfer recipient for two conjugative transposons, Tn1545 from Eubacterium cellulosolvens, and TnK10 from Clostridium saccharolyticum K10.
