Novel structural elements within the nonproteolytic clostridium botulinum type F toxin gene cluster.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced for the first time the complete neurotoxin gene cluster of a nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum type F. The neurotoxin gene cluster contained a novel gene arrangement that, compared to other C. botulinum neurotoxin gene clusters, lacked the regulatory botR gene and contained an intergenic is element between its orfX2 and orfX3 genes.
