Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of promoter-generating mutations allowing the transcription of heterologous genes has been studied in a system based on the plasmid-mediated conjugal transfer of histidine biosynthetic genes from a donor bacterium (Azospirillum brasilense) into a heterologous Escherichia coli mutant population lacking histidine biosynthetic ability and initially unable to recognize the transcriptional signal of the...
