Abstract
An erm (B) gene carried on the Lactobacillus johnsonii G41 chromosome and the upstream and downstream regions were fully sequenced. Apparently, a 1,495-bp segment of pRE25 from Enterococcus faecalis carrying the erm (B) gene became inserted, by an unknown mechanism, into the L. johnsonii chromosome.Keywords
