A Study Of Burkholderia Pseudomallei K96243 Hypothetical Bpsl3393 Gene Product As A Putative Coa-Binding Protein
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis. From the whole genomic comparison by using B. pseudomallei K96243 as reference genome, a total 48 genes were found specifically and common in B. pseudomallei strains. Amongst, the hypothetical gene, BPSL3393, was deduced to contain the...
