<i>Burkholderia xenovorans</i> LB400 harbors a multi-replicon, 9.73-Mbp genome shaped for versatility
9 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 (LB400), a well studied, effective polychlorinated biphenyl-degrader, has one of the two largest known bacterial genomes and is the first nonpathogenic Burkholderia isolate sequenced. From an evolutionary perspective, we find significant differences in functional specialization between the three replicons of LB400, as well as a more relaxed selective pressure for genes located on the...
