Gene context of ribitol

  • Dose-dependent competitive inhibition by ribitol teichoic acid was linear and equivalent for MRSA and MSSA (r, .949, P less than .001) [21].
  • The new enzyme was termed ARD1p (D-arabitol dehydrogenase 1) [29].
  • The predicted protein products of nodF and nodG show homology with acyl carrier protein and ribitol dehydrogenase, respectively [30].
  • The genes of the ribitol and D-arabitol operons are very closely linked and lie in a mirror image arrangement, rtlB-rtlA-rtlC-atlC-atlA-atlB, between metG and his on the E. coli chromosome [31].
  • Rhodopsin kinase has been difficult to store with retention of activity, but can be successfully stored frozen at -20 degrees C in 20% adonitol [32].
