Abstract
Restriction endonuclease fragments of DNA from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis (mouse pneumonitis biovar) were hybridized to probes from the N-terminal and C-terminal portions of the Escherichia coli tufA gene. In common with other Gram-negative bacteria, the genome of N. gonorrhoeae was found to contain two homologous sequences (presumptive tuf genes). The C. trachomatis genome contained a single tuf sequence.Keywords
