Characterization of candidate genes involved in halotolerance using high-throughput omics in the halotolerant bacterium Virgibacillus chiguensis.

We previously used whole-genome sequencing and Tn5 transposon mutagenesis to identify 16 critical genes involved in the halotolerance of Halomonas beimenensis, a species in the phylum Proteobacteria. In this present study, we sought to determine if orthologous genes in another phylum are also critic...
