Systematic genetic dissection of chitin degradation and uptake in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>

2017-05-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Vibrio cholerae is a natural resident of the aquatic environment, where a common nutrient is the chitinous exoskeletons of microscopic crustaceans. Chitin utilization requires chitinases, which degrade this insoluble polymer into soluble chitin oligosaccharides. These oligosaccharides also serve as an inducing cue for natural transformation in Vibrio species. There are 7 predicted endochitinase-...
