Abstract excerpt
Expression of the iron-stress-induced irpA gene of Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 was investigated by constructing luminescent p irpA::luxAB promoter fusions. Growth of Fe-replete and Fe-limited cultures yielded high levels of luminescence only under conditions of iron deficiency. Promoter fusion deletions revealed that low Fe irpA transcription is dependent on a 25-nucleotide sequence that includes a region...
