Abstract

A putative sigma factor-encoding gene, rpoZ, was cloned from Streptomyces aureofaciens. Its deduced protein product showed high similarity to the putative sigma factor encoded by the Streptomyces coelicolor whiG gene. Disruption of rpoZ blocked differentiation at a stage between the formation of aerial mycelium and the development of mature spores.
