title: Efficient utilization and operation of the gluconate-inducible system of the promoter of the Bacillus subtilis gnt operon in Escherichia coli.
abstract: A DNA fragment containing the promoter of the Bacillus subtilis gluconate (gnt) operon and its first gene (gntR) was cloned into Escherichia coli. E. coli recognized this promoter efficiently and precisely. Moreover, the gluconate-inducible system of this operon operated even in E. coli.
