Genomic variation among closely related Vibrio alginolyticus strains is located on mobile genetic elements

Abstract Background Species of the genus Vibrio, one of the most diverse bacteria genera, have undergone niche adaptation followed by clonal expansion. Niche adaptation and ultimately the formation of ecotypes and speciation in this genus has been suggested to be mainly driven by horizontal gene tra...
