The sigma 54 genes rpoN1 and rpoN2 of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri play different roles in virulence, nutrient utilization and cell motility

The sigma factor 54 (σ54) controls the expression of many genes in response to nutritional and environmental conditions. There are two σ54 genes, rpoN1 (XAC1969) and rpoN2 (XAC2972), in Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. To investigate their functions, the deletion mutants ΔrpoN1, ΔrpoN2 and ΔrpoN1N2 w...
