A GFP-lacZ bicistronic reporter system for promoter analysis in environmental gram-negative bacteria.

Here, we describe a bicistronic reporter system for the analysis of promoter activity in a variety of gram-negative bacteria at both the population and single-cell levels. This synthetic genetic tool utilizes an artificial operon comprising the gfp and lacZ genes that are assembled in a suicide vect...
