Genetic characterization of the nucleotide excision repair system of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

abstract：:Bacillus subtilis mutants deficient in amino acid repression of the histidine utilization (hut) operon were isolated by transposon mutagenesis. Genetic characterization of these mutants indicated that they most likely contained transposon insertions within the codVWXY operon. The codY gene is required for nutritional ...
