Abstract excerpt
The genomic structure of the pfoA-colA region in six theta-toxin-deficient strains of Clostridium perfringens was examined by Southern hybridization using the pfoR, pfoA, pbg, arcABDC and colA genes, encoding regulator for pfoA, theta-toxin, beta-galactosidase, arginine metabolism enzymes and kappa-toxin, respectively, as gene probes. It is suggested that the productivity of theta-toxin in these strains is...
