## Abstract A synthetic version of the metal‐regulated gene A (__mrgA__) promoter from __Bacillus subtilis__, which in this Gram‐positive bacterium is negatively regulated by manganese, iron, cobalt, or copper turned out to promote high level of basal gene expression that is further enhanced by Co(
