Also known as
ECK1154
Summary
Blue light activation of the YgcE anti-repressor relieves YcgF repression of the cold-shock RpoS-activated small protein operon ycgZ-ymgA-ariR-ymgC operon (Tschowr, 2009). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG14291]. Deletion of ymgC increases biofilm formation and motility . [More information is available at EcoCyc: G6607].
