Characterization of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase of group B streptococci.

abstract：:In the acetoclastic methanogen Methanothrix soehngenii, acetate is activated to acetyl coenzyme A by acetyl coenzyme A synthetase (Acs). The acs gene, coding for the single Acs subunit, was isolated from a genomic library of M. soehngenii DNA in Escherichia coli by using antiserum raised against the purified Acs. Afte...
