Carf mediates signaling by singlet oxygen, generated via photoexcited protoporphyrin IX, in myxococcus xanthus light-induced carotenogenesis

, 2013
Blue light triggers carotenogenesis in the nonphototrophic bacterium Myxococcus xanthus by inducing inactivation of an anti-σ factor, CarR, and the consequent liberation of the cognate extracytoplasmic function (ECF)σ factor, CarQ.
