Construction and physiological analysis of a Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae recA mutant.

abstract：:The glnAntrBC operon of Proteus vulgaris was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence was determined. An open reading frame of 1407 bp was identified as the glnA gene and the deduced amino acid sequence showed 82% identity with the E. coli glutamine synthetase protein. Heterolog...
