Abstract excerpt
The exbB, exbD and tonB genes of the Pasteurella multocida animal pathogen have been cloned by complementation of an Escherichia coli tonB mutant. Despite these three genes being physically linked, RT-PCR analysis, lacZ transcriptional fusions and construction of insertional mutants have demonstrated that they do not constitute an operon, but rather are transcribed independently from each other. Furthermore,...
