Abstract excerpt
The organization of the melibiose operon of Escherichia coli is promoter-melA-melB. The amount of the product (alpha-galactosidase) of the first gene (melA) is much larger than that of the product (melibiose permease) of the second gene (melB). Using the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene (ca...
