abstract：:We have shown previously that Spo0A approximately P-dependent sinIR operon expression was substantially down-regulated in abrB null mutant backgrounds. In this report, we show that loss of function mutations in abrB also cause phosphorelay gene expression to be down regulated. abrB null mutations caused diminished veg...
