Comparative genomics study of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and ectoine relevant genes from <it>Halomonas </it>sp. TD01 revealed extensive horizontal gene transfer events and co-evolutionary relationships

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Halophilic bacteria have shown their significance in industrial production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and are gaining more attention for genetic engineering modification. Yet, little information on the genomics and PHA related ge...
