PMCID: PMC203796  PMID: 3111370

Abstract

We sequenced the Staphylococcus aureus phospho-beta-galactosidase gene. The protein product of this gene consisted of 470 amino acids, giving a molecular weight of 54,557. This gene appears to be transcribed as the terminal sequence on a polycistronic message.
