Abstract excerpt
Bacteria must contend with conditions of nutrient limitation in all natural environments. Complex programmes of gene expression, controlled in part by the alternative sigma factors sigmaS (sigma38, RpoS) and sigmaH (sigma32, RpoH), allow a number of bacterial species to survive conditions of partial or complete starvation. We show here that the alternative sigma factor sigmaE (sigma24, RpoE) also facilitates the...
