Regulation of the oxidative stress response by the hpr gene in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus subtilis mutants with null mutations in the spo0 A gene are resistant to oxidative stress during the exponential phase of growth. This resistance phenotype can be suppressed by mutations in the abrB gene, or in the hpr gene. Both of these gene products are negative regulatory proteins wh...
