Abstract excerpt
The genes encoding pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were previously located by cloning and sequence analysis of the region upstream of the genes encoding the citrate synthase and gamma glutamylcysteine synthetase genes. The pdh genes of T. ferrooxidans were able to complement an Escherichia coli aroP-lpd mutant for growth on minimal medium lacking acetate, indicating that the T....
