Abstract
Mu dX(lac) insertion mutants of Escherichia coli CSH50 in which the expression of the lacZ gene was sensitive to the presence of exogenous 1-thioglycerol or dithiothreitol were isolated. Both stimulatory and inhibitory mutants were found. The existence of several thiol-sensitive promoters suggests that exogenous thiols may provoke global stress responses in E. coli.
