Abstract excerpt
The bacterial haemoglobin from Vitreoscilla, VHb, displays several unusual properties that are unique among the globin family. When the gene encoding VHb, vgb, is expressed from its natural promoter in either Vitreoscilla or Escherichia coli, the level of VHb increases more than 50-fold under hypoxic conditions and decreases significantly during oxidative stress, suggesting similar functioning of the vgb promoter...
