Comparative Genomic Analysis of Closely Related Acetobacter pasteurianus Strains Provides Evidence of Horizontal Gene Transfer and Reveals Factors Necessary for Thermotolerance.

Abstract excerpt

Acetobacter pasteurianus is an industrial strain used for the vinegar production. Many A. pasteurianus strains with different phenotypic characteristics have been isolated so far. To understand the genetic background underpinning these phenotypes, a comparative genomic analysis of A. pasteurianus strains was conducted. Based on bioinformatics and experimental results, we report the following. (i) The gene...
