Production of medium-chain-length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) from gluconate by recombinant Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Ticks are important vectors for many emerging pathogens. However, they are also infected with many symbionts and commensals, often competing for the same niches. In this paper, we characterize the microbiome of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae), the lone star tick, in order to better understand the evolutionary r...
