Nitrate reductase is demonstrated to exert an autogenous control on its own synthesis. This effect requires the participation of the molybdenum cofactor. Use of strains in which the control region of the nar operon is mutated reveals two loci in this region: one, affected in strain LCB94, is common

The nar promoter of Escherichia coli, which is maximally induced under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate, was characterized to see whether the nar promoter cloned onto pBR322 can be used as an inducible promoter. To increase the expression level, the nar promoter was expressed in โฌ. co
The nar promoter of Escherichia coli is maximally induced under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate. We previously demonstrated in batch experiments that the intact nar promoter of E. coli cloned into a pBR322-based plasmid serves as a high-level expression system in a na
Studies were made on two guanine-requiring strains of Escherichia coli isolated independently as a result of insertion of prophage gamma into one of the structural genes of the guanine operon. These mutants do not exhibit any detectable guaB function but express the guaA function constitutively at a
A strain of Escherichia coli, VT, which spontaneously gives rise to mutations in many ribosomal proteins, has been used in conjunction with chemical mutagenesis and varying the subsequent incubation temperature to select mutants which have alterations in every ribosomal protein amenable to analysis
