The role of the alternative cf factor RpoS in the regulation of the starvation survival loci , stiA , has been characterized .
Nonetheless , it is clear from these results that RpoS is involved in the positive regulation of both stiA and stiC during P starvation .
Nonetheless , it is clear from these results that RpoS is involved in the positive regulation of both stiA and stiC during N .
Nonetheless , it is clear from these results that RpoS is involved in the positive regulation of both stiA and stiC during C .
Since the stiA are regulated by RpoS , we wanted to examine the combined effects of sti mutations on starvation survival .
Since the stiA are regulated by RpoS , we wanted to examine the combined effects of rpoS mutations on starvation survival .
On the basis of the fact that stiA are all regulated by RpoS , one might predict that rpoS mutants exhibit increased sensitivity to the effects of C starvation because stiC are not induced and/or because stiB is overexpressed in an rpoS mutant .
