Abstract
The sigB gene of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 encodes the alternative sigma factor sigma(B). Deletion of sigB in B. cereus leads to hyperresistance to hydrogen peroxide. The expression of katA, which encodes one of the catalases of B. cereus, is upregulated in the sigB deletion mutant, and this may contribute to the hydrogen peroxide-resistant phenotype.Entities:
