title: Cloning and sequencing of the putative Azospirillum brasilense gene encoding GTP cyclohydrolase II.
abstract: Sequence analysis of a fragment of Azospirillum brasilense DNA revealed the presence of a ribA homologue, of which the 3' portion encodes a putative GTP cyclohydrolase II. The 5' portion (approx. half of the ORF) does not show homology to any other sequence from the databases.
