Abstract excerpt
Oenococcus oeni is responsible for the malolactic fermentation of wines. Genomic diversity has been recently established in the species and extensive attention is now being given to the genomic bases of strain-specific differences. We explored the role of insertion sequences (IS), which are considered as driving forces for novel genotypic and phenotypic variants in prokaryotes. The present study focuses on...
