The Proximity of Ribosomal Protein Genes to <italic toggle="yes">oriC</italic> Enhances <italic toggle="yes">Vibrio cholerae</italic> Fitness in the Absence of Multifork Replication

ABSTRACT Recent works suggest that bacterial gene order links chromosome structure to cell homeostasis. Comparative genomics showed that, in fast-growing bacteria, ribosomal protein genes (RP) locate near the replication origin (oriC). We recently showed that Vibrio cholerae employs this positional...
