Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli bgl operon is of interest, since its expression is silent (phenotypically Bgl-), at least under standard laboratory conditions. Here we attempted to identify a trans-acting factor(s) that is presumably relevant to the regulation of bgl by a random insertion mutagenesis with mini-Tn10. These collected mutations, conferring the phenotype of Bgl+, were localized in three loci on the genetic map,...
