Mycobacterial SigA and SigB Cotranscribe Essential Housekeeping Genes during Exponential Growth

All mycobacteria encode a group II sigma factor, σB, closely related to the group I principal housekeeping sigma factor, σA. Group II sigma factors are widely believed to play specialized roles in the general stress response and stationary-phase transition in the bacteria that encode them. Contrary...
