Characterisation of O-antigen biosynthesis genes in Vibro anguillarum and their association with IS1358 / by Kathy Eva Daniels.

Corrigenda pasted onto back end-paper.Bibliography: leaves 167-189.191, [229] leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.In this study the wbh region responsible for O-antigen biosynthesis was isolated and partially characterised. The operon appears to be made up of genes that were acquired from other bacteria. The presence of IS1358 indicates that it may have played a role in the acquisition or rearrangement of the polysaccharide biosynthesis genes in V. anguillarum 01.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Microbiology and Immunology, 199
