Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli promoters that are more active at low temperature (15 to 20 degrees C) than at 37 degrees C were identified by using the transposon Tn5-lac to generate promoter fusions expressing beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal). Tn5-lac insertions that resulted in low-temperature-regulated beta-Gal expression were isolated by selecting kanamycin-resistant mutants capable of growth on lactose minimal medium at 15...
