Abstract

The invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide having a polynucleotide sequence which codes for the sigC gene from Corynebacterium glutamicum, and a host-vector system having a coryneform host bacterium, such as Corynebacterium glutamicum, and a vector which carries at least the sigC gene according to SEQ ID No 1, and the use of polynucleotides which comprise the sequences according to the invention as hybridization probes.
