Abstract excerpt
The chromosome of Yersinia enterocolitica encodes an enterotoxin called Yst. We analysed transcription of chromosomal yst'--luxAB and plasmid-borne yst'--lacZ operon fusions and we observed that regulation of yst expression occurs at transcriptional level. In a wild-type strain, yst was transcrib...
