| Abstract: | We describe a novel metallothionein gene from Tetrahymena thermophila that has a strong copper-inducible promoter. This promoter can be turned on and off rapidly, making it a useful system for induction of ectopic gene expression in Tetrahymena and enhancing its applications in cell and molecular biology, as well as biotechnology. |
