Abstract excerpt
Activation kinetics of a Bacillus subtilis menaquinone biosynthetic gene promoter (the menCD promoter) were measured during growth and sporulation, with the aid of a menCD'-lacZ translational gene fusion. Transient maximal activation was seen shortly after the end of exponential growth in unbuffered complex medium containing a low glucose concentration. These activation kinetics were correlated with transient...
