Translational selection is operative for synonymous codon usage in Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium acetobutylicum.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Apr 2003

Musto Héctor, Romero Héctor, Zavala Alejandro

Abstract excerpt

Here, the codon usage patterns of two Clostridium species (Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium acetobutylicum) are reported. These prokaryotes are characterized by a strong mutational bias towards A+T, a striking excess of coding sequences and purine-rich leading strands of replication, strong GC-skews and a high frequency of genomic rearrangements. As expected, it was found that the mutational bias dominates...
