Abstract excerpt
The genomic region of Marinomonas mediterranea containing the genes required for tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis has been cloned by marker rescue using the transposon-generated, amelanogenic strain T105. Five ORFs, two incomplete and three complete, have been sequenced in the genomic region where the transposon was inserted. RT-PCR analysis indicates that ORF 3, coding for tyrosinase, and ORF4, coding...
