Abstract excerpt
The glpFK operon maps near minute 88 on the linkage map of Escherichia coli K-12 with glpF promoter proximal. The glpF gene encodes a cytoplasmic membrane protein which facilitates the diffusion of glycerol into the cell. The glpK gene encodes glycerol kinase. In the present work, the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-end of the operon, including the control region, the glpF gene, and part of the glpK gene, was...
