Abstract excerpt
Previously, a gene cluster, termed ser2, which encodes for the synthesis of the specific oligosaccharide of the glycopeptidolipid antigen of Mycobacterium avium serovar 2 strain TMC 724, was defined. DNA probes from this cloned ser2 gene cluster have now been used to clone and characterize the ser2 region from a strain of M. avium which produces rough and smooth colony forms and to identify the genetic...
