Transcriptional Analysis of the Conjugal Transfer Genes of Rickettsia bellii RML 369-C.
Rickettsia bellii is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is one of the few rickettsiae that encode a complete set of conjugative transfer (tra) genes involved in bacterial conjugation and has been shown to exhibit pili-like structures. The reductive genomes of rickettsiae beg the question wheth...
