The general stress response of Alphaproteobacteria is regulated by a partner-switching mechanism that involves the alternative sigma factor σEcfG, the anti-sigma factor NepR and the anti-sigma factor antagonist PhyR. To address the question of how the PhyR-NepR-σEcfG cascade is activated and modul

Chloromethane (CH3Cl) is the most abundant volatile halocarbon in the atmosphere and contributes to the destruction of stratospheric ozone. The only known pathway for bacterial chloromethane utilization (cmu) was characterized in Methylobacterium extorquens CM4, a methylotrophic bacterium able to ut
