Abstract
The gene encoding enolase (eno) from the ammonia oxidising bacterium N itrosomonas europaea has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence for enolase from N. europaea was 65% identical (76% simi lar) to its Bacillus subtilis orthologue. An incomplete open reading f rame located 432 bp 5' of eno was identified as pyr G, which encodes C TP synthase. These two genes are therefore organised in N. europaea, a beta-subdivision proteobacterium, in the same way as in the gamma-sub division proteobacterium Escherichia coli.
