Abstract excerpt
Two transcriptional activators, the FNR and NARL proteins, are required for induction of the fdnGHI operon, encoding Escherichia coli formate dehydrogenase-N. The FNR protein is required for anaerobic expression, while the NARL protein mediates nitrate induction. We used primer extension to locat...
