The adhC gene from 11 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was distinguished from its homologue in Neisseria meningitidis by the presence of a premature stop codon caused by a single base insertion. Mutational analysis showed that NADH S-nitrosoglutathione oxidoreductase activity was associated with adhC in Neisseria meningitidis but not in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
