Abstract
The structural gene for C protein, a low MW spore-specific protein from B. megaterium was cloned in Escherichia coli. Expression of the C-protein gene in E. coli requires an external transcription promoter and prevention of termination of transcription prior to transcription of all or part of the sequence coding for the C protein. The gene for the C protein is within a 5-kilobase DNA fragment, but this fragment does not code for either of the other 2 major low MW spore proteins, suggesting that the structural genes for these proteins are not tightly linked.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
