Proteus mirabilis can form four reductases after anaerobic growth: nitrate reductase A, chlorate reduetase C, thiosulfate reductase and tetrathionate reductase. The last three enzymes are formed constitutively. Nitrate reductase is formed only after growth in the presence of nitrate, which causes re

We present models and computational results which indicate that the spatial and temporal regularity seen in Proteus mirabilis swarm-colony development is largely an expression of a specific, nearly precise age of dedifferentiation in the cell cycle from motile swarmer cells to immotile dividing cell
Transcription of Escherichia coli ribosomal DNA introduced into Proteus mirabilis on F14 is described. We have developed an assay for E. coli coded ribosomal RNA involving fingerprinting of ribonuclease T1 digests of RNA isolated from ribosomal subunits. Sequence differences in the ribosomal RNA of
The lac operon shows anomalous expression in Proteus mirabilis: the maximal induced level is 10% or less of that in E. coli, while repression reduces this by a factor of only 2-5. We have sought to determine whether this effect relates in any way to CRP-mediated activation of expression, by comparin
The lac operon introduced into Proteus mirabilis shows two anomalies of expression: the maximal induced level is reduced by about an order of magnitude, and the basal level becomes about 100 times higher than in E. coli, as a result of which the induction ratio appears very small, around 2-5 in cont
