Abstract excerpt
Understanding the molecular biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has become the focus of recent studies in infectious diseases. Here, we describe a spectrophotometric method for quantitative analysis of promoters in mycobacteria. The assay is a modification of the xyIE reporter assay, which uses an inexpensive substrate, catechol. The distinguishing feature of this protocol is that cells are grown by patching on...
