ABSTRACT

The sequence of the 46 NH₂-terminal residues of the tryptophan synthetase chain of Bacillus subtilis was determined and compared with the corresponding sequences of Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhimurium, Aerobacter aerogenes, Serratia marcescens, and Pseudomonas putida. A deletion of six residues was found at the NH₂-terminal end of the chain of B. subtilis.
