Isolation and Characterization of The Gene Of: Algd Pseudomonas Syringae Pv. Phaseolicola S2-1
Isolation and Characterization of The Gene Of: Algd Pseudomonas Syringae Pv. Phaseolicola S2-1
ABSTRACT
The a/gO gene was amplified from total DNA of P. aeruginosa by the peR technique.
The gene was cloned and used as a probe in hybridization studies. We successfully
screened a Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseo/ico/a (PSP) genomic library for the
corresponding gene which was sequenced. When the amino acid sequence of a/gO
from PSP was deduced and aligned with the deduced sequence of the
corresponding gene in P. aeruginosa, a high degree of similarity (92%) and identity
(78%) was found.
INTRODUCTION
RESULTS
The a/gO DNA probe was generated from total DNA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by
PCR amplification. Oligonucleotides were designed according to the a/gO sequence
data of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DERETIC et al. 1987a). The "touch down" PCR
protocol resulted in a fragment of the expected size (1.3 kb) which was cloned into
pBluescript SK-; its identity was confirmed by partial sequencing. We found 98%
identity between the 200 basepairs of the 5' end determined and the a/gO sequence
