Hypersensitivity to Catabolite Repression in the l-Arabinose Operon of Escherichia coli B/r Is trans Acting

David E Sheppard *, Marianne Eleuterio 1
PMCID: PMC233245  PMID: 177399

Abstract

Mutations causing hypersensitivity to catabolite repression have been assigned to gene araC (activator protein) by complementation analysis. The araO (operator region) is non-essential for catabolite repression.
