Abstract excerpt
Possessing three circular chromosomes is a distinct genomic characteristic of Burkholderia cenocepacia AU 1054, a clinically important pathogen in cystic fibrosis. In this study, base composition, codon usage and functional role category were analyzed in the B. cenocepacia AU 1054 genome. Although no bias in the base and codon usage was detected between any two chromosomes, function differences did exist in the...
