Abstract excerpt
Enolase-phosphatase (E1), as an enzyme, is involved in methionine salvage pathway in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. But the identity and function of E1 in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) remain undetermined. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of E1 gene, named xep, from Xoo. Sequence analysis shows that XEP is highly conserved among the six Xoo strains we investigated and all other...
