The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) gene (
zwf) of the cyanobacterium
Synechococcus PCC 7942 was cloned on a 2.8 kb
Hind III fragment. Sequence analysis revealed an ORF of 1572 nucleotides encoding a polypeptide of 524 amino acids which exhibited 41% identity with the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of
Escherichia coli.
