Abstract:
The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding aspartokinase (Ask) II from thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus has been determined. Degenerate oligodeoxyribonucleotides primed the amplification of a 932-bp gene. This sequence was successively used for constructing new primers applied in inverse polymerase chain reaction using, as template, self-ligating DNA fragments. The deduced amino-acid sequence is 68.7% identical with the sequence of the Bacillus sp. strain MGA3 Ask II.
