Abstract excerpt
In this work, we have studied the transcriptional regulation of the bzd operon involved in the anaerobic catabolism of benzoate in the denitrifying Azoarcus sp. strain CIB. The transcription start site of the P(N) promoter running the expression of the bzd catabolic genes was identified. Gel retardation assays and P(N)::lacZ translational fusion experiments performed both in Azoarcus sp. CIB and Escherichia coli...
