Role of riboflavin biosynthesis gene duplication and transporter in Aeromonas salmonicida virulence in marine teleost fish

Virulence, 2023
Active flavins derived from riboflavin (vitamin B2) are essential for life. Bacteria biosynthesize riboflavin or scavenge it through uptake systems, and both mechanisms may be present.
