RESUMO
We isolated a strain of Escherichia coli K-12 in which the lac structural genes are fused to the purB control region and used this strain to study the regulation of the purA and purB loci. The purA locus was derepressed in response to either limiting adenine or guanine growth conditions in the presence of excess guanine or adenine, respectively. The presence of hypoxanthine in the culture medium did not have any effect on the expression of the purA locus. The purB locus responded to limiting adenine growth conditions in the presence of either excess hypoxanthine or guanine alone but not when both hypoxanthine and guanine were present.
