about this resource
The opening article of the "Microbial Biotechnology" journal in 2008 dealt with the use of tetracycline repressor (TetR) for bacterial transgene regulation. It covered diverse fields of application of tetracycline dependent (tet) gene regulation in more than a dozen bacterial species, ranging from enterobacteriaceae to firmicutes and actinomycetes. This website aims to provide a comprehensive overview of prokaryotic tet systems and provide the reader with the latest developments in the field.
