Abstract excerpt
The biosynthesis of Mn-containing superoxide dismutase is regulated in response to stimuli that affect the redox potential of the cell. To further investigate the mode of regulation of the gene (sodA) encoding this enzyme, cis-acting regulatory mutations in a strain containing a sodA::lacZ gene fusion were studied. The mutant strains expressed beta-galactosidase under anaerobic conditions, whereas the wild-type...
