Abstract excerpt
The relationship between phenotypic variation and nucleotide sequence variation of the gene encoding Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct haemolysin (tdh gene) was examined. Strains showing a typical haemolysin-positive phenotype carried two chromosomal gene copies (designated tdh1 and tdh2) while tdh-gene-positive strains showing a weakly positive or negative haemolysin phenotype possessed only a single...
