Abstract excerpt
The regulation of the narK gene in Escherichia coli was studied by constructing narK-lacZ gene and operon fusions and analyzing their expression in various mutant strains in response to changes in cell growth conditions. Expression of narK-lacZ was induced 110-fold by a shift to anaerobic growth and a further 8-fold by the presence of nitrate. The fnr gene product mediates this anaerobic response, while nitrate...
