A functional oriT in the Ptw plasmid of Burkholderia cenocepacia can be recognized by the R388 relaxase TrwC

Burkholderia cenocepacia is both a plant pathogen and the cause of serious opportunistic infections, particularly in cystic fibrosis patients. B. cenocepacia K56-2 harbors a native plasmid named Ptw for its involvement in the Plant Tissue Watersoaking phenotype. Ptw has also been reported to be imp...
