Abstract excerpt

The ilvIH operon of Escherichia coli (located near min 2) encodes acetohydroxyacid synthase III, an isozyme involved in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis. A strain with lacZ fused to the ilvIH promoter was constructed. Transposon Tn10 was introduced into this strain, and tetracycline-resista...
