I believe you could use the help of the Baylor College of Medicine (or
more specifically, the BCM Search Launcher).  They are found on-line at
the following:

Good Luck!!

P.S.   I will keep you in mind.  Our lab here works with all kinds of
pseudomonads (most now reclassified).  I believe that the promoters
aren't much different from E. coli, but I may be wrong (we express P.
putida and P. aeruginosa genes in E. coli all the time).
