Metabolic modelling reveals the specialization of secondary replicons for niche adaptation in Sinorhizobium meliloti
The genome of some bacteria consists of two or more chromosomes or replicons. Here, diCenzo et al. integrate genome-scale metabolic modelling and growth data from a collection of mutants of the plant symbiont Sinorhizobium melilotito estimate the fitness contribution of each replicon in three enviro...
