Sigma factor RpoN employs a dual transcriptional regulation for controlling twitching motility and biofilm formation in Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11.

Abstract excerpt

Lysobacter is a Gram-negative genus comprising a group of environmental bacteria with abilities to produce abundant novel antibiotics, as well as adopting a unique type IV pilus (T4P)-mediated twitching motility (TM) that remains poorly understood. Here, we employ L. enzymogenes OH11 exhibiting significant antifungal activity as a working model to address this issue. Via mutating the 28 potential sigma factors in...
