Abstract
In Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, the pyk gene coding fo r pyruvate kinase and the pfk gene coding for phosphofructokinase form ed a bicistronic operon transcribed into a 2.9-kb RNA. The nucleotide sequence of the pyk gene indicated that the encoded protein possessed an extra C-terminal domain with a potential phosphoenolpyruvate-depend ent autophosphorylation site.
