Abstract:
The 3' part of the glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase gene from Histoplasma capsulatum was PCR amplified using degenerate primers designed from the known glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase gene sequences, cloned and sequenced. The computer analysis of the 676 bp sequence revealed the presence of two introns. The identities of the deduced amino acid sequence to the corresponding Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans fragment are 65 and 63.8%, respectively.
