Genome rearrangements have been studied in 30 gamma-proteobacterial complete genomes by comparing the order of a reduced set of genes on the chromosome. This set included those genes fulfilling sev...

The biosynthesis of quinolinate, the de novo precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), may be performed by two distinct pathways, namely, the bacterial aspartate (aspartate-to-quinolina...

Four bacterial strains were isolated from the fly larvae of an obligate parasitic fly, Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), These isolates were characterized by a polyphasic approach and...
