EIGHTY PERCENT IMPORTED. “Today it is estimated that between 1.6 and 32.6 per cent of the genes of each microbial genome have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer. Moreover, a recent study…shows that this increases dramatically to 81 ± 15 per cent if the cumulative impact of horizontal gene transfer towards lineages is considered, which reinforces the importance of this mechanism in microbial evolution.”
