Lactobacillus fermentum 3872 genome sequencing reveals plasmid and chromosomal genes potentially involved in a probiotic activity.

abstract：:The ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a plant pathogen with a very broad host range. In order to identify and characterize genes involved in S. sclerotiorum infection of Brassica napus (canola), expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were examined from libraries prepared from three tissues: complex appressorium (infectio...
