Promoters for the expression of a particular construct are indicated together with the integration site on the chromosome.
The promoter Pnat comprises 1097 bp upstream of the parA-gene.
The plasmid integrates at cuoA locus.
The promoter Pnat comprises 303 bp upstream of the ssb-gene.
The operators are separated by a 10 bp random sequence.
