The secretion of a Serratia marcescens nuclease was followed by fermentation with Escherichia coli. A plasmid, p403-SD2, carrying a 1.3-kilobase-pair insert with a 0.4-kilobase-pair region upstream of the nuclease gene caused a growth-phase-regulated expression of nuclease in E. coli in the same way as that seen in S. marcescens. Deletion of the regulatory gene generating plasmid p403-Rsa1 resulted in a constitutive expression of the nuclease. Anaerobiosis stimulated the expression from p403-SD2 in stationary growth phase by a factor of 10 compared with expression stimulated by cultivation in aerobic conditions; no such effect was found for plasmid p403-Rsa1. Different nutritional factors caused the expression level and the amount of extracellular nuclease to vary more when nuclease was expressed from plasmid p403-SD2 than when it was expressed from plasmid p403-Rsa1. A correlation between the regulatory gene and the extracellular secretion of nuclease is proposed.
