Dear Netters,
	Greeting!
	I have a query. 
	In a common environment, despite horizontal gene transfer,
	how is it made possible by the microorganisms, sharing the 
	same environment, to maintain their individual identity?
	i.e. why two microorganisms do not change so significantly
	in their genome due to horizontal gene transfer that they 
	merge and a third absolutely new organism if formed.
	Bye for now
	i p singh.
