Popis: The inactivation of the rpoS gene, which encodes the sigma S subunit of RNA polymerase of rhizospheric strain Pseudomonas chlororaphis 449 results in a drastic (5–8-fold) decrease in the synthesis of phenazine antibiotics, a decline in the acid and alkaline phosphatase activities (pH 2.5 and 8.8, respectively), and the antagonistic activity of this strain against phytopathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani. A mutation in the rpoS gene also causes a minor decrease of lipase and proteolytic activity in the supernatants of Pseudomonas chlororaphis 449 and has no substantial effect on the synthesis of three types of N-acyl homoserine lactones, the signal molecules of quarum sensing regulation, and the ability of bacteria to migrate over the medium surface (swarming).
