Happy Thanksgiving! Our new research article by Abe et al. has just been published in Microbiology Spectrum. （筆頭著者：守研 M2 安部） We discovered a novel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading gene cluster that is widely shared among the genomes of Roseobacteraceae bacteria, one of the most commonly distributed marine bacterial group. Great work, Mayuko san! Abe, M., Read more about 2024.11.27. New publication: Abe et al., Microbiol. Spectr.[…]
