The general stress response of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis is controlled by the sigmaB transcription factor. Here we show that loss of sigmaB reduces stationary-phase viability 10-fold in either alkaline or acidic media and reduces cell yield in media containing ethanol. We further show that loss of the developmental transcription factor sigmaH also has a marked effect on stationary-phase viability under these conditions and that this effect is independent from the simple loss of sporulation ability.
枯草芽孢杆菌的一般应激反应由σB转录因子控制。在此我们表明,在碱性或酸性培养基中,σB缺失会使稳定期存活率降低10倍,并且在含有乙醇的培养基中会降低细胞产量。我们进一步表明,发育转录因子σH的缺失在这些条件下对稳定期存活率也有显著影响,并且这种影响与孢子形成能力的简单丧失无关。
