| A strain of bacteria possesses a temperature-sensitive mutation in the gene that encodes the sigma factor. At elevated temperatures, the mutant bacteria produce a sigma factor that is unable to bind to RNA polymerase which results in stoppage of all... | further initiation of gene transcription activity.
