Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) of Brucella abortus strain 2308 was identified in a Brucella genomic library utilizing a combination of Western blotting and native gel electrophoresis. The Cu/Zn SOD gene was inactivated in vitro by ligation of a kanamycin resistance gene into the open reading frame encoding SOD. The plasmid born construct was introduced back into B. abortus by...
