title: The gyrB gene lies opposite from the replication origin on the circular chromosome of Mycoplasma capricolum.
abstract: Using oligodeoxyribonucleotide primers and the polymerase chain reaction, we cloned and sequenced a 3.2-kb region which contains the gyrB gene, encoding the beta-subunit of gyrase from Mycoplasma capricolum. We localized gyrB opposite from the chromosomal replication origin (ori) of M. capricolum by genomic Southern hybridization.
