- W2951096957 abstract "This paper develops a mathematical model describing the influence that conjugation-mediated Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) has on the mutation-selection balance in an asexually reproducing population of unicellular, prokaryotic organisms. It is assumed that mutation-selection balance is reached in the presence of a fixed background concentration of antibiotic, to which the population must become resistant in order to survive. We analyze the behavior of the model in the limit of low and high antibiotic-induced first-order death rate constants, and find that the highest mean fitness is obtained at low rates of bacterial conjugation. As the rate of conjugation crosses a threshold, the mean fitness decreases to a minimum, and then rises asymptotically to a limiting value as the rate of conjugation becomes infinitely large. However, this limiting value is smaller than the mean fitness obtained in the limit of low conjugation rate. This dependence of the mean fitness on the conjugation rate is fairly small for the parameter ranges we have considered, and disappears as the first-order death rate constant due to the presence of antibiotic approaches zero. For large values of the antibiotic death rate constant, we have obtained an analytical solution for the behavior of the mean fitness that agrees well with the results of simulations. The results of this paper suggest that conjugation-mediated HGT has a slightly deleterious effect on the mean fitness of a population at mutation-selection balance. Therefore, we argue that HGT confers a selective advantage by allowing for faster adaptation to a new or changing environment. The results of this paper are consistent with the observation that HGT can be promoted by environmental stresses on a population." @default.
