Variability of the tandem repeat region of the Escherichia coli tolA gene.

Research in microbiology - 1 Jun 2012

Zhou Kai, Vanoirbeek Kristof, Aertsen Abram, Michiels Chris W

Abstract excerpt

An intragenic tandem repeat (TR) region has been previously reported in the tolA gene of Escherichia coli. In silico analysis of 123 E. coli tolA sequences from Genbank and PCR analysis of the tolA TR region from 111 additional E. coli strains revealed that this TR region is highly variable. Nine different TR sizes with 8 up to 16 repeat units were found in in silico analysis and 6 of these were also found by PCR...
