Fate of the H-NS-repressed bgl operon in evolution of Escherichia coli.

Fate of the H-NS-repressed bgl operon in evolution of Escherichia coli.

In the enterobacterial species Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, expression of horizontally acquired genes with a higher than average AT content is repressed by the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS.
