We present the sequence of a 2 kb fragment of the Bacillus subtilis Marburg genome containing sacB, the structural gene of levansucrase, a secreted enzyme inducible by sucrose. The peptide sequence deduced for the secreted enzyme is very similar to that directly determined by Delfour (1981) for leva

β¦ Synopsis
The order of 802 base pairs was established in a DNA segment containing the promoter for malPQ which is one of the three maltose operons, and the promoter for malT, the positive regulator gene of the maltose regulon. The determination of the amino-terminal sequence of the MalT protein allowed us to identify the beginning of the malT gene on the sequence. The position of the malP gene was deduced from the published amino-terminal sequence of maltodextrin phosphorylase. A total of 611 base pairs separate the initiation codons for these two genes, which are transcribed in opposite directions. This large intergenic region does not code for any polypeptide of significant size. The main features of this sequence are discussed in terms of the regulation known to operate on malT and malPQ expression.

The malB region in E. coli is composed of two operons, malEFG and malK-lamB, transcribed divergently from a control region located between the malE and malK genes. We have established the DNA sequence of a 600 base pair segment which contains the sites necessary for initiation of transcription of th
