Sequence analysis of the riboflavin biosynthesis genes from acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.

Resumen

Descripción

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a bacteria with economic relevance in metal bioleaching. We describe here the sequence analysis of the riboflavin operon in this bacteria. Expression analysis of the rib genes was performed by Real-Time PCR. The results could contribute to a better understanding of the bioleaching process by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
