Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of three open reading frames in the acetone-production locus of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC824 has been established. The three gene products, corresponding to acetoacetate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.4) and both subunits of the acetoacetyl-CoA:acetate/butyrate:CoA transferase (EC 2.8.3.9) are transcribed in two convergently arranged operons. The intervening DNA region separating the two transcripts is characterized by an inverted repeat which appears capable of forming a stem-loop structure functioning as a Rho-independent transcription terminator in both directions.Entities:
