      Gulla, Snorre; Bayliss, Sion; Björnsdóttir, Bryndís; Dalsgaard, Inger; Haenen, Olga; Jansson, Eva; McCarthy, Una; Scholz, Felix; Vercauteren, Maaike; Verner-Jeffreys, David; Welch, Tim; Wiklund, Tom; Colquhoun, Duncan John (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-12)
      A recently described typing system based on sequence variation in the virulence array protein (vapA) gene, encoding the A-layer surface protein array, allows unambiguous subtyping of Aeromonas salmonicida. In the present ...
    • Diversity and metabolic energy in bacteria 

      Allen, Ben; Gonzalez-Cabaleiro, Rebeca; Ofiteru, Irina Dana; Øvreås, Lise; Sloan, William T.; Swan, Donna; Curtis, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Why are some groups of bacteria more diverse than others? We hypothesize that the metabolic energy available to a bacterial functional group (a biogeochemical group or ‘guild’) has a role in such a group’s taxonomic ...
