title: Primary structure of the speC gene encoding biosynthetic ornithine decarboxylase in Escherichia coli.
abstract: A 2.91-kb fragment of the Escherichia coli chromosome containing the speC gene, encoding biosynthetic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was sequenced. The speC gene is encoded by a 2133-bp ORF; the deduced amino-acid sequence contains 711 residues whose predicted molecular mass is 79,505 Da.
