Regulation of biomass degradation by alternative σ factors in cellulolytic clostridia
Abstract Bacteria can adjust their genetic programs via alternative σ factors to face new environmental pressures. Here, we analyzed a unique set of paralogous alternative σ factors, termed σIs, which fine-tune the regulation of one of the most intricate cellulolytic systems in nature, the bacterial...
