A Polysaccharide Biosynthesis Locus in Vibrio parahaemolyticus Important for Biofilm Formation Has Homologs Widely Distributed in Aquatic Bacteria Mainly from Gammaproteobacteria

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: loci are likely driven by horizontal gene transfer, gene loss, gene duplication, and fragment fusion. Our results provide new insights into the function and evolution of this widespread polysaccharide biosynthesis locus.
