“…In particular, here we used Escherichia coli MG1655 carrying pBGT, a non-transmissible multi-copy plasmid used previously to study plasmid dynamics and drug resistance evolution (San Millan et al . 2016; Rodriguez-Beltran et al 2018; Hernandez-Beltran et al 2020). Briefly, pBGT is a ColE1-like plasmid with ∼19 plasmid copies per cell, lacking the necessary machinery to perform conjugation or to ensure symmetric segregation of plasmids upon division.…”

“…We validated our model using a well characterized model plasmid, pBGT (San Millan et al 2016; Rodriguez-Beltran et al 2018; Hernandez-Beltran et al 2020). By analyzing growth kinetics of the plasmid-bearing and the plasmid-free strains we estimated the maximal growth rates of both strains, as well as the fitness cost associated to plasmid bearing and the fitness advantage of the plasmid bearing cells for different antibiotic concentrations.…”

“…After 12 h of incubation, we observed that ICE Bs1 transfer was initiated in a few donor bacteria with strong mKate2 fluorescence scattered through the biofilm, while most donor cells showed low fluorescent red signal (Figure 2A). This discrepancy between the fluorescence of various donor cells is likely due to the activation of ICE Bs1 and its subsequent replication, which would increase the number of mKate2 copies (37, 38). Four hours later, those initial donors had transferred ICE Bs1 to neighboring cells, forming clusters of mKate2+ cells (Figure 2A).…”

“…54 β -lactam resistance genes are generally located on plasmids and, in particular, TEM-1 has a plasmid origin, with more than two-hundred TEM β -lactamase variants descending from this allele recorded. 55 We denote the strain carrying this wellcharacterized, 45,56 non-conjugative, and multicopy plasmid as MG/pBGT (average copy number=19.12, s.d.= 1.53; Figure 1A-C). 45 As a control, we used a fluorescently tagged strain carrying a chromosomally encoded bla TEM-1 , which we term MG:GT.…”
