A mutation in a new gene, bglJ, activates the bgl operon in Escherichia coli K-12.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1996

Giel M, Desnoyer M, Lopilato J

Abstract excerpt

A new mutation, bglJ4, has been characterized that results in the expression of the silent bgl operon. The bgl operon encodes proteins necessary for the transport and utilization of the aromatic beta-glucosides arbutin and salicin. A variety of mutations activate the operon and result in a Bgl+ phenotype. Activating mutations are located upstream of the bgl promoter and in genes located elsewhere on the...
