Abstract
A clone from Brucella abortus 19 complemented an Escherichia coli strain deficient in phosphorylation of glucose. Open reading frames similar to E. coli mepA, glk, and genes encoding ATP-coupled exporters were found in the sequence. A fourth affected growth on minimal media of the ptsI glk strain with various carbon sources.
