Differential involvement of the five RNA helicases in adaptation of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 to low growth temperatures
Résumé
Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 possesses five RNA helicase-encoding genes overexpressed under cold growth conditions. Out of the five corresponding mutants, only the {Delta}cshA, {Delta}cshB, and {Delta}cshC strains were cold sensitive. Growth of the {Delta}cshA strain was also reduced at 30°C but not at 37°C. The cold phenotype was restored with the cshA gene for the {Delta}cshA strain and partially for the {Delta}cshB strain but not for the {Delta}cshC strain, suggesting different functions at low temperature
