Cloning and characterization of the scrA gene encoding the sucrose-specific Enzyme II of the phosphotransferase system from Staphylococcus xylosus.

Abstract excerpt

By insertional mutagenesis with the staphylococcal transposon Tn551, mutants of Staphylococcus xylosus were isolated that were unable to utilize sucrose. One of these was found to be deficient in sucrose uptake. The genomic region containing this sucrose uptake gene of Staphylococcus xylosus (scrA) was cloned in Staphylococcus carnosus. The scrA gene was further localized to a 4.4 kb DNA fragment by...
