Abstract excerpt
Members of the sigma 54 protein family, encoded by rpoN, are required for the transcription of genes associated with specialized metabolic functions. The ability to grow with phenol appears to be a specialized trait because it is expressed by few of the microorganisms that grow with catechol, the...
