Bacillus subtilis rRNA promoters are growth rate regulated in Escherichia coli

H G Deneer et al. J Bacteriol. 1987 Mar.

Abstract

rRNA promoters from the rrnB locus of Bacillus subtilis and from the rrnB locus of Escherichia coli were fused to the gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT). The level of expression of CAT in E. coli showed growth rate dependence when the CAT gene was linked to either E. coli or B. subtilis tandem promoters. The downstream promoter of the tandem Bacillus pair showed growth rate regulation, while the upstream promoter did not, whereas for the E. coli tandem promoters, only the upstream promoter was growth rate regulated.
