Abstract excerpt
The pnpA gene of Bacillus subtilis, which codes for polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), has been cloned and employed in the construction of pnpA deletion mutants. Growth defects of both B. subtilis and Escherichia coli PNPase-deficient strains were complemented with the cloned pnpA gene. RNA d...
