UniProtKB accession: Q8YBX4 A mutant of strain Brucella melitensis bv. 1 str. 16M that lacks an intact gene cydD. NCBIGene: 1198534 Information about the mutated molecule: MUTATION: The cydB and cydD mutants are also defective for the intracellular growth of B abortus and B suis, suggesting that functional cytochrome bd oxidase is required for growth in an intracellular environment [Ref6469:Kim et al., 2003].
