Disruption of hmgA by DNA Duplication is Responsible for Hyperpigmentation in a Vibrio anguillarum Strain
Abstract Vibrio anguillarum 531A, isolated from a diseased fish in the Atlantic Ocean, is a mixture composed of about 95 and 5% of highly pigmented cells (strain 531Ad) and cells with normal levels of pigmentation (strain 531Ac), respectively. Analysis of the V. anguillarum 531Ad DNA region encompas...
