Abstract excerpt
The bifunctional autolysin gene (atl) of Staphylococcus aureus was transcribed into a 4.1-kb transcript. The transcription initiation site was located at an adenine residue 33-nt upstream from the putative atl start codon. Analysis using a promoter-reporter plasmid showed that promoter activity i...
