Abstract excerpt
The 68-min region of the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) contains the gene algT, encoding a putative alternate sigma factor similar to sigma E in Escherichia coli, that is required for the expression of several genes in the alginate biosynthetic regulon. Sequences immediately upstream from algT were found to contain a divergently expressed open reading frame encoding a 60-kDa protein with 64 and 36%...
