Gene Expression in Class 2 Integrons Is SOS-Independent and Involves Two Pc Promoters
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Integrons are powerful bacterial genetic elements that permit the expression and dissemination of antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes. They contain a promoter Pc that allows the expression of gene cassettes captured through site-specific recombination ...
