Evidence that compatibility of closely related replicons in Clostridium perfringens depends on linkage to parMRC-like partitioning systems of different subfamilies

In conclusion, we have provided the first direct evidence of plasmid incompatibility in Clostridium spp. and have shown experimentally that the compatibility of conjugative C. perfringens plasmids correlates with the presence of parMRC-like partitioning systems of different phylogenetic subfamilies.
