Effect of phenotypic plasticity on epiphytic survival and colonization by Pseudomonas syringae.

abstract：:Aspergillus oryzae has been used in the food and beverage industry for centuries, and industrial strains have been produced by multiple rounds of selection. Targeted gene deletion technology is particularly useful for strain improvement in such strains, particularly when they do not have a well-characterized meiotic c...
