Abstract excerpt

We have sequenced a region from the pigmentation (pgm) locus of Yersinia pestis KIM6+ that is identified with the exogenous hemin storage (Hms+) phenotype in cells grown at 26 but not at 37 degrees C. The hmsHFRS locus encodes a putative polycistronic operon, with hmsH encoding an outer membrane...
