Abstract excerpt
The activity of Escherichia coli pyruvate oxidase (PoxB) was shown to be growth-phase dependent; the enzyme activity reaches a maximum at early stationary phase. We report that PoxB activity is dependent on a functional rpoS(katF) gene which encodes a sigma factor required to transcribe a number of stationary-phase-induced genes. PoxB activity as well as the beta-galactosidase encoded by a poxB::lacZ protein...
