| Abstract: | We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the newly characterized colicin E8imm gene which exists in tandem with the colicin E3imm gene in the: ColE3-CA38 plasmid. Comparison of these immunity structures reveals considerable sequence divergence) but the ColE8imm gene is markedly homologous to the colicin E2imm gene from the ColE2-P9 plasmid.Issued as NRCC no. 23586 and as CBRI no. 1480. |
