RESUMO

Biotin independence in E. coli requires five closely linked genes, bioA, bioB, bioF, bioC, and bioD. The residual gene activity of deletion mutants has been studied by complementation and enzyme assays. Deletion of the left end of the bioA gene does not impair expression of the remaining genes, but deletions from the left extending into bioB abolish all gene expression. Nonsense mutations in bioB reduce expression of bioC, bioF, and bioD. Therefore, the four genes, bioB, bioF, bioC, and bioD, are transcribed as a unit from left to right, from a promotor located between bioA and bioB.
