Summary
A family of plasmids designed for studying gene expression in bacteria is described. The system employs λ regulatory elements. Transcription is regulated by the thermolabile cI repressor. Transcription termination signals can be introduced between the λ PL promoter and several structural genes. This system permits qualitative and quantitative studies of termination signals.
