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 comple...
