If the bacteriocin system were already present in the existing E.coli
population, why would the bacteriocin plasmid increase the risk of
horizontal gene transfer? Simply because it can diffuse faster and has
greater percentage colicin-to-overall-DNA as a plasmid? Because the
plasmid might be higher copy-number?
