DuBose R F, Hartl D L
Abstract excerpt
The phylogenetic distribution of the gene coding for bacterial alkaline phosphatase (phoA) was examined in nine species of enteric bacteria closely related to Escherichia coli. The nucleotide and protein sequences from the E. fergusonii and Serratia marcescens genes are presented. The spatial distribution of replaced amino acid residues in the aligned sequences is shown to be highly nonrandom and can be...
