Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is transmitted to humans through the bite of Ixodes spp. ticks, and causes a febrile disease known as human granulocytic anaplasmosis. The presence of A.

The zero point of the map was relocated to the chromosomal origin of replication.

All but one, trpG, which encodes the small (beta) subunit of anthranilate synthase, have been mapped on the circular chromosome. This report describes the cloning and sequencing of P.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo anthranilate synthase gene pairs have been identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They were cloned, sequenced, inactivated in vitro by insertion of an antibiotic resistance gene, and returned to P. aeruginosa, replacing the wild-type gene.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo pairs of related but easily distinguishable genes for the two subunits of anthranilate synthase have been identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These were cloned, sequenced, inactivated in vitro by insertion of an antibiotic resistance cassette, and returned to the P. aeruginosa chromosome, replacing the wild-type gene.
