DESCRIPTION:The complete set of genes for the ability to take up DNA from 
 the environment via natural transformation termed natural competence\, is 
 present in the major parts of the cyanobacterial phylum\, with the excepti
 on of picocyanobacteria. However\, experimental evidence für natural comp
 etence has been only available for few species. In this talk\, I will show
  DNA uptake via natural transformation for species of parts of the cyanoac
 terial phylum\, for which natural competence has not been reported yet. Th
 ese examples include either chromosomal integration of the introduced DNA 
 or reconstitution of a replicating plasmid. Prevalence of natural competen
 ce raises the question to its potential evolutionary advantage in cyanobac
 teria\, e.g. allele transfer within a population or potential route for DN
 A repair. Furthermore\, the establishment of gene transfer into new specie
 s open avenues for recombinant work in new parts of the phylum\, relevant 
 for both basic and applied research in the field.
