Abstract excerpt

The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the Vibrio cholerae acfD gene (encoding an accessory colonization factor) has been determined. The acfD gene encompasses 254 nt that are predicted to encode an 88-amino-acid (aa) protein. Additionally, an open reading frame of 184 aa, designated orfZ, was detected...
