Abstract excerpt
In Bacillus subtilis the citM gene encodes the Mg(2+)-citrate transporter. A target site for carbon catabolite repression (cre site) is located upstream of citM. Fusions of the citM promoter region, including the cre sequence, to the beta-galactosidase reporter gene were constructed and integrated into the amyE site of B. subtilis to study catabolic effects on citM expression. In parallel with beta-galactosidase...
