Abstract
The region located 6.0–6.2 kb upstream from a structural gene for 6-aminohexanoic acid linear oligomer hydrolase (EII) in Flavobacterium was found to be responsible for EII expression in Escherichia coli. In this region there existed a 50 bp long inverted repeat containing a sequence homologous to the E. coli promoter −35 and −10 regions. Introduction of deletions in this region resulted in decreases in EII activity to various levels.
