Cloning and sequencing of the tandem arginine biosynthetic genes argCJBDFR from Corynebacterium crenatum A.S1.542

The tandem arginine biosynthetic genes argCJBDFR from Corynebacterium crenatum were amplified by PCR. Sequence analysis indicates that there are five open reading frames, including argJ, argB, argD, argF and argR in the 6080bp stretch. The amino acid sequences coded by argJBDFR genes show 92%, 95%, 96%, 97.5% and 100% identity to those of Corynebacterium glutacimum, respectively.
