In addition to Joe's comments, I believe 

deBoer, H.A. & Kastelein, R.A. (1986) in Maximizing Gene Expression, eds. 
Rezinkoff, W & Gold, L. (BUtterworth, Stoneham, MA). pp. 225-285.

is an excellent reference.

Also Springer and Sligar have used this information in the "High-Level 
expression of Sperm Whale Myoglobin in E. coli"  in PNAS 84:8961-8965 (1987) 
for an example of its use.


Good Luck
