title: Cloning, sequencing and overexpression of the gene encoding malate dehydrogenase from the deep-sea bacterium Photobacterium species strain SS9.
abstract: The gene encoding malate dehydrogenase (mdhA) was obtained from the psychrophilic, barophilic, deep-sea isolate Photobacterium species strain SS9. The SS9 mdhA gene directed high levels of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) production in Escherichia coli. A comparison of SS9 MDH to three mesophile MDHs, a MDH sequence obtained from another deep-sea bacterium, and to other psychrophile proteins is presented.
