DNA acquired through horizontal gene transfer usually encodes factors that ensure its own expression. This is the case of the irp-HPI island and its activator PbtA. We hypothesized that PbtA could also modulate the expression of other functions encoded elsewhere in the genome. Thus, the main aim of this project was to study the interconnection of the irp-HPI genomic island and the core genome of Vibrio anguillarum. To this purpose, an RNAseq analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes after the inactivation of pbtA in the V. anguillarum RV22 genetic background. Less...
