Abstract excerpt
Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular parasite which is able to survive in various eukaryotic cells. We characterised a Tn5-mutant of the L. pneumophila Corby strain and were able to identify the insertion site of the transposon. It is localised within an open reading frame which shows high homology to the alpha-subunit of the oxaloacetate decarboxylase (OadA) of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The OadA...
