Abstract excerpt
The regulation of three Escherichia coli carbon starvation (cst) genes fused to lacZ was examined. Expression of these genes is induced by starvation for a carbon source. The role of carbon and cyclic AMP (cAMP) availability and of an altered-function crp mutation were investigated for their effect on cst expression in vivo. The experiments indicated that cAMP concentrations controlled the absolute expression of...
