Distribution, characterization, and evolution of heavy metal resistance genes and Tn7-like associated heavy metal resistance Gene Island of Burkholderia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Burkholderia is a rod-shaped aerobic Gram-negative bacteria with considerable genetic and metabolic diversity, which can beused for bioremediation and production applications, and has great biotechnology potential. However, there are few studies on the heavy metal resistance of the Burkholderia genus.

Methods

In this paper, the distribution, characteristics and evolution of heavy metal resistance genes in Burkholderia and the gene island of Tn7-like transposable element associated with heavy metal resistance genes in Burkholderia were studied by comparative genomic method based on the characteristics of heavy metal resistance.

Results and discussion

The classification status of some species of the Burkholderia genus was improve
