Abstract excerpt
Induction of the Pho response in Bacillus subtilis occurs when the P(i) concentrations in the growth medium fall below 0.1 mM, a condition which results in slowed cellular growth followed by entry into stationary phase. The phoPR promoter region contains three sigma(A)-responsive promoters; only promoter P(A4) is PhoP autoregulated. Expression of the phoPR operon is postexponential, suggesting the possibility of...
