A unique nine-gene comY operon in Streptococcus mutans.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jan 2005

Merritt Justin, Qi Fengxia, Shi Wenyuan

Abstract excerpt

Many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria possess natural competence mechanisms for DNA capture and internalization. In Bacillus subtilis, natural competence is absolutely dependent upon the presence of a seven-gene operon known as the comG operon (comGA-G). In species of Streptococcus, this function has been described for a four-gene operon (comYA-D in Streptococcus gordonii and cglA-D in Streptococcus...
