Abstract excerpt

T. thermophilus HB8 contains a nitrate reductase gene cluster which is absent from closely related strains. This cluster encodes 4 ORFs (a-d) similar in organization and protein sequence to those encoded by respiratory nitrate reductase operons (narGHJI) of Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Ps...
