Abstract:The gene
mtlA
, encoding the mannitol transporter subunit IICBA of the phosphotransferase system, was the core gene with the greatest variability in
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
and could be used as a new typing marker in
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
. To expand its application, we performed an evolutionary analysis and found that the
mtlA
gene was present in nine phyla, 371 genera, and 1,662 species of bacter… Show more
