Abstract excerpt
A 4.0 kb region of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 DNA which complements three mutants unable to convert acetyl-CoA to glyoxylate (and therefore defective in the assimilation of methanol and ethanol) has been isolated and sequenced. It contains two ORFs and the 3'-end of a third one. The mutations in all three mutants mapped within the first ORF, which was designated meaA; it encodes a protein having similarity...
