Abstract excerpt
A gene encoding beta-galactosidase, designated mbgA, was isolated from Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14581. Chromosomal beta-galactosidase production could be dramatically induced by lactose but not by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and was subject to catabolite repression by glucose. Disruption of mbgA in the B. megaterium chromosome resulted in loss of lactose-inducible beta-galactosidase production....
