Abstract excerpt
Epidermin is produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis Tü3298 which harbors the 54-kb plasmid, pTü32. The plasmid contains not only the epidermin structural gene epiA, but also a flanking DNA region which is necessary for epidermin biosynthesis. The DNA sequence of this region revealed, in addition...
