Cell-free mercury(II)-reducing activity in a plasmid-bearing strain of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:The maltose regulon consists of three operons controlled by a positive regulatory gene, malT. Deletions of the gene crp were introduced into strains which carried a malT-lacZ hybrid gene. From the observed reduction in beta-galactosidase activity it was concluded that the expression of malT-lacZ, and therefore of malT...
