Role of the C-terminal domain of the <font face = "symbol">a</font> subunit of RNA polymerase in transcriptional activation of the <i>lux</i> operon during quorum sensing

Quorum sensing in Gram-negative bacteria is best understood in the bioluminescent marine microorganism, <i>Vibrio fischeri</i>. In <i>V. fischeri</i>, the luminescence or <i>lux</i> genes are regulated in a cell density-dependent manner by the activator LuxR in t...
