Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Vibrio vulnificus that was more sensitive to low pH was screened from a library of mutants constructed by random transposon mutagenesis. By use of a transposon-tagging method, an open reading frame encoding a LysR homologue, AphB, was identified and cloned from V. vulnificus. The deduced amino acid sequence of AphB from V. vulnificus was 80% identical to that reported from V. cholerae. A mutational...
