title: Probing in vivo promoter activities in Mycoplasma pneumoniae: a system for generation of single-copy reporter constructs.
abstract: The nucleotide sequences that control transcription initiation and regulation in Mycoplasma pneumoniae are poorly understood. In this work, we developed a lacZ-based reporter plasmid that can be used to integrate fusions of promoter fragments to a promoterless lacZ gene into the chromosome of M. pneumoniae.
