title: Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 gnd gene and its homology with the corresponding sequence of Escherichia coli K12.
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella strain LT2 gnd gene for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was determined. The gene contains 1404 bases and encodes a 468 amino acid polypeptide, which is the same as for Escherichia coli K12. The DNA sequence shows 14.8% difference between the two and the amino acid sequence 3.6% difference. Changes are mostly in the third codon base and most of the amino acid changes are conservative.
