A Novel Pheromone Quorum-Sensing System Controls the Development of Natural Competence in Streptococcus thermophilus and Streptococcus salivarius

In streptococcal species, the key step of competence development is the transcriptional induction of comX, which encodes the alternative sigma factor σ(X), which positively regulates genes necessary for DNA transformation. In Streptococcus species belonging to the mitis and mutans groups, induction...
