Stephanie Smith Department of Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Biography Publications Institution JoVE Articles Stephanie Smith When bacterial cells come into contact with one another in hosts, on particles, or in biofilm, they often exchange DNA through a process called “horizontal gene transfer”. Using symbiotic bacteria isolated from fish and squid, my research focuses on how horizontal gene transfer drives the evolution of symbiotic partnerships. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how DNA acquired via horizontal gene transfer can allow bacteria to colonize new hosts. This work will be critical for identifying new host-colonization factors and will provide insights as to how symbiotic partnerships may evolve in nature.
