Abstract excerpt
Expression from a 2.3 kb region upstream of the inducible acetamidase gene from Mycobacterium smegmatis was shown to be upregulated by acetamide. A DNA fragment containing the start of the M. smegmatis hisD gene was cloned in front of the promoter, such that the antisense message was produced. When this construct was induced in vivo, the bacteria became phenotypically histidine auxotrophs; this auxotrophy was...
