Abstract excerpt

A genomic library of Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease in humans was constructed in Escherichia coli K12 and the recombinant clones were tested for haemolysis and other phenotypic properties. Seven clones were identified which were able to confer haemolysis of h...
