Abstract
A 729-bp open reading frame (gltR) was identified in Pseudomonas aerug inosa PAO1 that encodes a product homologous to the two-component resp onse regulator family of proteins. Disruption of gltR caused loss of g lucose transport activity. Restoration of gltR resulted in wild-type l evels of glucose transport. These findings indicate that gltR is requi red for expression of the glucose transport system in P. aeruginosa.
