The molecular mechanisms of plant recognition, colonization, and nutrient exchange between
diazotrophic endophytes and plants are scarcely known. Herbaspirillum seropedicae is …

Background The fast reduction of prices of DNA sequencing allowed rapid accumulation of
genome data. However, the process of obtaining complete genome sequences is still very …

Despite the development in DNA sequencing technology, improving the number and the
length of reads, the process of reconstruction of complete genome sequences, the so called …

Tools for genomic island prediction use strategies for genomic comparison analysis and
sequence composition analysis. The goal of comparative analysis is to identify unique regions …

Fonsecaea and Cladophialophora are genera of black yeast-like fungi harboring agents of
a mutilating implantation disease in humans, along with strictly environmental species. The …

Among other attributes, the Betaproteobacterial genus Azoarcus has biotechnological
importance for plant growth-promotion and remediation of petroleum waste-polluted water and …
