Expression of the histidine operon in rho mutants of Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 1978 Aug;135(2):721-5. doi: 10.1128/jb.135.2.721-725.1978.

Abstract

Expression of the Escherichia coli histidine operon was measured in four independently isolated sets of strains carrying ten different rho mutations. Rho factor does not act as a major regulatory element of histidine operon attenuation.
