Definition:

  • (8) The flaN, flbG, and flaO operons are all transcribed periodically, and flaO, which is near the top of the hierarchy and required in trans for the activation of flaN and flbG operons, is expressed earlier in the cell cycle than the other two transcription units.
  • (9) The deletions were then used in an analysis of (i) the relative position on the genome of previously described mutant loci in the flagellar genes, (ii) the relative position of a newly defined cistron, flaN, and (iii) the orientation and direction of transcription of genes previously assigned to multicistronic transcriptional units.
