ihfA gene of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus and its role in activation of carotenoid genes by blue light.

Abstract excerpt

Myxococcus xanthus responds to blue light by producing carotenoids. Several regulatory genes are known that participate in the light action mechanism, which leads to the transcriptional activation of the carotenoid genes. We had already reported the isolation of a carotenoid-less, Tn5-induced strain (MR508), whose mutant site was unlinked to the indicated regulatory genes. Here, we show that OmegaMR508::Tn5...
