Abstract excerpt
The environmentally responsive biodegradative arginine (adi) and lysine (cad) decarboxylases are maximally induced when Escherichia coli is cultured under acidic, anaerobic conditions in rich medium. Previously, transposon mutagenesis led to the identification of hns (encoding H-NS, a histone-lik...
