Abstract excerpt
The bacterio-opsin gene (bop) of Halobacterium halobium is located within a cluster with three other genes. Growth conditions of high light intensity and low oxygen tension induce bop gene cluster expression. To identify putative regulatory factor binding sites upstream of the bop gene, we have compared sequences upstream of the bop gene with the corresponding sequences from two other genes in the bop gene...
