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. D...
