Abstract excerpt
Knockout mutation of STM4432 resulted in a growth-deficient phenotype of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the presence of myo-inositol (MI) as the sole carbon source. STM4432 is part of a 22.6-kb genomic island which spans STM4417 to STM4436 (genomic island 4417/4436) and is responsible for MI degradation. Genome comparison revealed the presence of this island in only six Salmonella strains and a high...
