Abstract excerpt
The ctaBCDEF genes coding for cytochrome c oxidase were found to reside adjacent to a regulatory gene ctaA at 127 degrees on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. The structural genes for subunits I and II, ctaD and ctaC, were deleted by gene-replacement using a phleomycin-resistance marker. The mutant was unable to oxidize N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylene-diamine and oxidized cytochrome c at a significantly lower...
