Abstract excerpt
Bacteria are equipped with complex cell surface structures, such as cell walls. How they maintain cell surface integrity through cell wall metabolism during growth and adaptation to unfavorable environmental conditions is still elusive. In the Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis, one extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor, SigM, is believed to play a primary role in cell surface integrity. Here,...
