Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of the dnaK gene of Zymomonas mobilis.

abstract：:Wild-type Escherichia coli cells are unable to grow on beta-glucosides. Spontaneous mutants arise, however, which are able to utilize certain aromatic beta-glucosides such as salicin or arbutin as carbon sources, revealing the presence of a cryptic operon called bgl. Mutations activating the operon map within (or clos...
