Lac Operon- Gene Regulation in Bacteria
The lac operon, found in E. coli bacteria, is a remarkable genetic system that controls the metabolism of lactose, a sugar commonly present in milk. This operon comprises three crucial structural genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA, responsible for encoding the essential enzymes needed to break down lactose into glucose and galactose. Its significance in the…
