Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional lacZ fusions to the Pu and Pm promoters of the TOL (toluene degradation) plasmid inserted in monocopy in the chromosome of Pseudomonas putida showed a very different responsiveness to their respective aromatic effectors regarding growth phase. While a substantial XylS-dependent activation of Pm-lacZ was detected nearly instantly after m-toluate addition, XylR- and xylene-mediated induction of the...
