The <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> RpoE (AlgU) operon is involved in environmental stress tolerance and biofilm formation

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, can be isolated from soil and water. To persist, adapt and survive within and outside their human host, bacteria rely on regulatory mechanisms that allow them to respond rapidly to stressful situations. We have examined the possible role of B. pseudomallei alternative sigma factor sigma(E) (RpoE) in the stress response and found that rpoE and its...
