Abstract excerpt
The thyA gene which codes for thymidylate synthase has been cloned and sequenced from the wild-type Shigella flexneri Y strain SH4 and a thyA mutant TSF21 after amplifying the gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The nucleotide sequence revealed 98% homology to the E. coli K-12 thyA gene. The sequence of the wild-type thyA gene of Shigella flexneri Y was identical with that of the thyA mutant except that the...
