The gene encoding enolase ( eno ) from the ammonia oxidising bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence for enolase from N. europaea was 65% identical (76% similar) to its Bacillus subtilis orthologue. An incomplete open reading frame located 432 bp 5′ of eno was identified as pyrG , which encodes CTP synthase. These two genes are therefore organised in N. europaea , a β‐subdivision proteobacterium, in the same way as in the γ‐subdivision proteobacterium Escherichia coli .
