Abstract

A functional promoter from the obligate autotrophic ammonia oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea was identified by expression in Escherichia coli, using a promoterless reporter gene. Transcription initiation site of this promoter was determined by primer extension analysis. The sequences at - 35 and - 10 have low similarity to the - 10/- 35 consensus sequence of known prokaryotic promoters.
