The Alternative Sigma Factor SigL Influences <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> Toxin Production, Sporulation, and Cell Surface Properties
2022-01-26
Abstract excerpt
The alternative sigma factor SigL (Sigma-54) facilitates bacterial adaptation to the extracellular environment by modulating the expression of defined gene subsets. A homolog of the gene encoding SigL is conserved in the diarrheagenic pathogen Clostridioides difficile . To explore the contribution of SigL to C. difficile biology, we generated sigL -disruption mutants ( sigL::erm ) in strains belonging to two p...
