Abstract excerpt
A number of Bacillus subtilis genes involved in NAD biosynthesis have been cloned and sequenced. One of the genes encodes a polypeptide homologous to Escherichia coli L-aspartate oxidase, and its mutation resulted in a nicotinic acid (Nic)-dependent phenotype; this gene was termed nadB. A second open reading frame (orf2) was found downstream of nadB, and an insertional plasmid separating orf2 and nadB also gave a...
