TABLE 1.
Homology of nucleotide sequences obtained by shotgun cloning of DP 2 generated by cDNA micro-RDAa
| Homologous sequence (% of homology) | Organism | No. of DP 2 gene fragments |
|---|---|---|
| Threonyl-tRNA synthetase (98) | S. aureus | 12 |
| Phosphoglycerate mutase (60) | B. subtilis | 14 |
| Triosephosphate isomerase (98) | S. aureus | 2 |
| 23S rRNA (98) | S. aureus | 4 |
a
Micro-RDA was performed to compare biofilm (tester) and planktonic (driver) populations. Tester and driver populations were cultivated in TSB-glucose medium.
b
Homology was determined by comparison to sequences in the EMBL procaryote library using the Fasta program (36).
