Vibrio cholerae , a human pathogen, inhabits aquatic environments and is often associated with chitin-containing organisms. In their Perspective, [Bartlett and Azam][1] discuss the findings of [ Meibom et al .][2] in the same issue of chitin-mediated natural DNA transformation in V. cholerae . This finding opens a new window for understanding conditions that influence the evolution of this bacterium in aquatic habitats.
