Question

The glutamic acid decarboxylase system of the new species brucella microti contributes to its acid resistance and to oral infection of mice

Answer 1

Explanation:

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Genome analysis indicated that the new species Brucella microti possesses a potentially functional glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system involved in extreme acid resistance in several foodborne bacteria. The contribution of this system in adaptation of B. microti to an acidic environment, including the intracellular vacuole and stomach, was investigated.
