Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis gene encoding CheB (cheBB), the chemotactic methylesterase, has been sequenced. The 39-kDa protein which resulted from the expression of cheBB, using a T7 expression system was consistent with the predicted open reading frame. CheBB shares 39.5% identity with Escherichia col...
