Mapping of the gene for cytidine deaminase (cdd) in Escherichia coli K-12. 1983

J Josephsen, and K Hammer-Jespersen, and T D Hansen

The structural gene encoding cytidine deaminase (cdd) has been mapped in Escherichia coli K-12. It is located counterclockwise to ptsF between 46 and 47 min. The gene order in this region of the E. coli chromosome was found to be his-udk-gat-dld-cdd-ptsF.

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
