The invention discloses a low-power ternary CAM by utilizing four encoded comparand datalines, C0, C1, C2, and C3 in a twin ternary cell. The twin ternary cell is a composite of two ternary CAM bits. The two binary CAM bits are coded so that only one of four comparand datalines is toggled during a compare operation. The encoded data is stored and used for comparison. In one embodiment, the four possible states for the 2 bit comparands are coded as 0001, 0010, 0100, and 1000.

The present invention provides the nucleotide sequences of Acetobacter operons, cdg operons encoding genes for the biosynthesis and degradation of cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP). Specifically, the nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences of 3 phosphodiesterases isozymes, 3 diguanylate cyclase isozymes, and 2 polypeptides of unidentified function are provided. Also provided for are various strains of microorganisms, including Acetobacter cells genetically manipulated so as to produce elevated and/or reduced levels of one or more cdg operon encoded proteins.

The invention is a plasmid vector in which a first DNA sequence expressionable for a selected gene product is ligated to a positive retroregulatory element in a relationship thereto whereby expression of the selected gene product is enhanced. The first DNA sequence is furthermore operably linked to a second and third DNA sequence operably linked to one another which are respectively the P. sub. L promoter and a DNA sequence corresponding to an N gene ribosome binding site. Microorganisms transformed with the plasmid are also claimed.

Nucleic acid sequences encoding the bacterial cellulose synthase operon derived from Acetobacter are disclosed. Methods for isolating the genes, vectors containing the genes, and transformed hosts useful for the expression of recombinant bacterial cellulose synthase or production of cellulose are also described.

The invention concerns a method for extending the half-life of mRNAs. The half-life extension is conferred upon the mRNA by a co-transcribed positive retroregulatory element which is ligated to the 3' end of the DNA sequence encoding the RNA. RNAs having an extended half-life conferred by a co-transcribed positive retroregulatory element are also claimed.

A DNA sequence is described, which is a promoter for Streptomyces. This promoter is stronger than the wild type and ultimately increases transcription initiation and protein expression. Typically, a nucleotide base, such as guanine, is inserted into the promoter sequence between positions -50 and -75 to increase transcription initiation or protein expression. In a preferred embodiment, guanine is inserted between positions -62 and -63 of the promoter regulated by thiostrepton (tipA).

A method and a cloning vector are described for the controlled accumulation of cloned heterologous gene products in Bacillus subtilis. The cloning vector is capable of being replicated in B. subtilis and includes the heterologous gene located and oriented such as to be under the control of an operator, promoter, and ribosome binding site sequence. The gene codes for a protein which is under the control of a transport mechanism by which the protein is secreted by the B. subtilis. The gene product is recovered from the growth medium for the B. subtilis. The cloning vector is also capable of similar use in other bacteria such as E. coli.

DRAM with column slices improves circuit redundancy. Slices have global column length, and memory is divided in groups with size of redundancy columns having slices. Failure detected among slices of corresponding storage is replaced by corresponding redundancy column slice, such that column redundancy division is in vertical column direction. Column includes global data line shared by column slices and multiple blocks. Redundant column is added to memory array, and redundant control circuits or comparator are proximate to data sense amplifiers. Defective column address are provided to controller through non-volatile memory, or laser-blown or electrically-programmable fuses. When column address is presented, incoming address is compared with stored address, such that select data is output on redundant data line when equal addresses (i. e. , hit detect), or normal data is output when unequal addresses (i. e. , "miss" detected).
