Abstract excerpt
Chemolithotrophic sulfur oxidation (Sox) in the alpha-proteobacterium Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001 was found to be governed by the gene cluster soxSRT-soxVWXYZABCD. Independent transposon-insertion mutations in the genes soxB, soxC, soxD, and also in a novel open reading frame (ORF), designated as soxT, afforded revelation of the entire sox locus of this bacterium. The deduced amino acid sequence of...
