Comparative Genomics of the First Plasmid Identified in the Genus Halovibrio Revealing a Mosaic Structure Shaped by Horizontal Gene Transfer
Exchange of genetic information within extreme environments is mediated by mobile genetic elements, most notably plasmids, which play a crucial role in microbial adaptation and survival in harsh environmental conditions. In this study, we characterized a novel plasmid pHv20-59a (194 kb) identified in Halovibrio s...
