Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis, like Escherichia coli, possesses several sets of genes involved in the utilization of beta-glucosides. In E. coli, all these genes are cryptic, including the genes forming the bgl operon, thus leading to a Bgl- phenotype. We screened for B. subtilis chromosomal DNA fragments capable of reverting the Bgl+ phenotype associated with an E. coli hns mutant to the Bgl- wild-type phenotype. One B....
