A novel promoter driving the expression of the quorum-sensing PqsE protein shows substantial differences in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas paraeruginosa
Graphical Abstract A pqsE proximal promoter is conserved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and in Pseudomonas paraeruginosa . It is repressed by the CRP global transcriptional regulator Vfr only in P. aeruginosa strains.
