Abstract excerpt
The Staphylococcus aureus chromosomal gene plaC, identified by mutations such as plaC1 that lead to the amplification of plasmid pT181, has been cloned and sequenced. The plaC gene encodes a protein with high similarity (79% identity) with the vegetative sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis, sigA, s...
