Abstract
A regulatory gene with 69% nucleotide sequence identity to the Bacillu s subtilis ccpA was cloned from Bacillus megaterium by complementation of a mutant relieved of catabolite repression. Sequencing of the gene and its adjacent regions revealed two additional open reading frames (ORFs) downstream from ccpA. These three genes are presumably in one o peron. ORF1 and ORF2 show homology to two genes downstream from ccpA i n B. subtilis, as well as to the B. subtilis motA and motB genes, resp ectively.
