Abstract excerpt
The differentiating bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor harbours some 66 sigma factors, which support its complex life cycle. sigma(B), a functional homologue of sigma(S) from Escherichia coli, controls both osmoprotection and differentiation in S. coelicolor A3(2). Microarray analysis revealed sigma(B)-dependent induction of more than 280 genes by 0.2 M KCl. These genes encode several sigma factors, oxidative...
