Bacterial conjugative plasmids mobilize DNA transfer between bacteria and yeast

Conjugative plasmids of Escherichica coli can mobilize DNA transmission from this bacterium to the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The process shares some of the features of conjugation between bacteria and could be evolutionarily significant in promoting trans-kingdom genetic exchange.
