Abstract excerpt

The pathway for glycerol catabolism in Streptomyces coelicolor is determined by the gylCABX operon, which is transcribed from two closely spaced glycerol-inducible, glucose-repressible promoters. Glucose (or catabolite) repression of gyl is known to be exerted by a general catabolite repression s...
