Abstract excerpt
By using MudJ (Kan, lac)-directed operon fusion technology, mutants of Salmonella typhi whose gene expression is induced under anaerobic growth conditions were isolated. Characterization of their phenotypes and regulatory properties revealed that two of the mutants were unable to use nitrate as a...
