Abstract

The complete nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene of Mycobacterium bovis BCG was determined. Its coding region was estimated to be 1,536 base pairs long. The nucleotide sequence of the gene in M. bovis BCG has homologies of 75 and 89% with those of Escherichia coli and Streptomyces lividans, respectively.
