Abstract excerpt
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the operon encoding tryptophan synthase (trpBA) is positively regulated by the TrpI protein and an intermediate in tryptophan biosynthesis, indoleglycerol phosphate (InGP). A gene fusion in which the trpBA promoter directs expression of the Pseudomonas putida xylE gene was constructed. By using a P. putida F1 todE mutant carrying this fusion on a plasmid, three cis-acting mutations that...
