Abstract excerpt
DNA phosphorothioate (PT) modifications, with one non-bridging phosphate oxygen replaced with sulfur, are widely but sporadically distributed in prokaryotic genomes. Short consensus sequences surround the modified linkage in each strain, although each site is only partially modified. The mechanism that maintains this low-frequency modification status is still unknown. In Salmonella enterica serovar Cerro 87, PT...
