Abstract
ABSTRACT The characterization of transcriptional start sites of 14 genes encoded by the extremely AT-rich genome of “ Candidatus Blochmannia floridanus” revealed a high degree of conservation with the RpoD promoter consensus sequence of the free-living relative Escherichia coli . Moreover, in agreement with the presence of the alternative heat shock sigma factor RpoH in “ Ca . Blochmannia,” typical RpoH-dependent promoters were identified. However, no heat shock response resembling that of E. coli could be detected in “ Ca . Blochmannia.”
