Evaluation of the roles that alkyl hydroperoxide reductase and Ohr play in organic peroxide-induced gene expression and protection against organic peroxides in Xanthomonas campestris.

Abstract excerpt

Alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (ahpC) and organic hydroperoxide resistance (ohr) are distinct genes, structurally and regulatory, but have similar physiological functions. In Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli inactivation of either gene results in increased sensitivity to killing with organic peroxides. An ahpC1-ohr double mutant was highly sensitive to both growth inhibition and killing treatment with organic...
