| Abstract |
The gram-positive filamentous bacterium Streptomyces is one of the largest resources for bioactive metabolites, particularly antibiotics. Antibiotic production and other metabolic processes are tightly regulated at the transcriptional level. Sigma (σ) factors are components of bacterial RNA polymerases that determine promoter specificity. In Streptomyces, σ factors also play essential roles in signal transduction and in regulatory networks, thereby assisting in their survival in complex environments. However, our current understanding of σ factors in Streptomyces is still limited. In this mini-review, we demonstrate the roles of Streptomyces σ factors, illustrating that these serve as linkers of different metabolic pathways. Further investigations on σ factors may improve our knowledge of Streptomyces physiology and benefit exploitation of Streptomyces resources. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 January 2018.
All research outputs
#7,581,946
of 24,383,935 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#7,923
of 27,591 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#144,604
of 449,136 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#250
of 515 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,383,935 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 27,591 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,136 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 515 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
