Abstract excerpt
A novel biotin-inducible DNA locus, bioS, was found in Rhizobium meliloti 1021 by mutation with a transposable promoter probe. The promoterless nptII reporter responded to 40 nM biotin with a sixfold increase in NPTII protein. Stationary-phase mutant cells accumulated 50% more 14C-biotin than corresponding wild-type cells. The prototrophic mutant competed equally with the wild type in biotin-free medium but...
