Effects of single and double deletion of Vibrio anguillarum histone-like protein HU subunits on biofilm formation and pathogenicity in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus).
Vibrio anguillarum is a major bacterial pathogen in marine aquaculture, which causes significant economic losses. The histone-like protein HU, a conserved nucleoid-associated protein, plays crucial roles in chromosome organization, global gene regulation, and stress adaptation. In many bacteria, HU exists as both a hom...
