Abstract excerpt
The first phenotype described for mutations in the Escherichia coli rpoS gene was hypersensitivity to near-ultraviolet radiation and to its oxidative photoproduct, hydrogen peroxide. Initially named nur, this gene is now known to code for a sigma factor, and has acquired new names such as katF an...
