Control of Expression of the Arginine Deiminase Operon of Streptococcus gordonii by CcpA and Flp

Received 22 October 2003/ Accepted 2 January 2004

In Streptococcus gordonii DL1, inactivation of the ccpA gene and a gene encoding an Fnr-like protein (Flp) demonstrated that CcpA was essential for carbohydrate catabolite repression and that Flp was required for optimal expression and anaerobic induction of the arginine deiminase system.
