Genome sequence and activity of KS10, a transposable phage of the Burkholderia cepacia complex
Download2008
Lynch, Karlene H., Shrivastava, Savita, Seed, Kimberley D., Goudie, Amanda D., Wishart, David S., Stothard, Paul, Dennis, Jonathan J.
Background The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is a versatile group of Gram negative organisms that can be found throughout the environment in sources such as soil, water, and plants. While BCC bacteria can be involved in beneficial interactions with plants, they are also considered...
