Department of Microbiology, University of Leicester, England.

A genomic library of Bacteroides gingivalis W83 chromosomal DNA was constructed in the Escherichia coli lambda (lambda) vector EMBL 4. Three recombinant lambda phages expressing a cloned protease were identified in the library. All three lambda phages contained cloned overlapping DNA fragments from the same region of the chromosome and encoded the same cloned protease. The cloned protease was expressed poorly using its own promoter in E. coli.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
