Phenotypes of a mutant
SigM is essential for growth and survival in nutrient broth (NB) containing 1.4 M NaCl [Pubmed|10216858]''sigM'' mutants form aberrantly shaped cells, which swell and lyse spontaneously during growth in NB medium containing increased levels (0.35-0.7 M) of a wide range of different salts [Pubmed|10216858]increased sensitivity towards beta-lactam antibiotics [Pubmed|22211522]a ''[gene|081DF3EE9FA56209D648C7677188C61CE3AA8E41|sigM] [gene|0AFFB4B715CCE6B1C53BBB7F890EFB3126CB466E|murJ]'' double mutant is not viable (due to the lack of both lipid II flippases) [Pubmed|25918422]The protein
