title: Sequence of the Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc recA gene.
abstract: The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the recA gene of Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc strain Patoc I has been determined. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of the RecA protein is 387 aa long with a predicted molecular mass of 42,355 Da. The aa sequence has a high degree of identity to the aa sequences of many bacterial RecA, including Pseudomonas fluorescens, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. This is the first recA sequence reported for a bacterium in the order Spirochaetales.
