Abstract excerpt
Differential gene expression during Bacillus subtilis sporulation is controlled by sigma factors and other regulatory effectors. The first compartmentalized sigma factor, sigma(F), is active specifically in the prespore compartment. During our screening for new chromosome segregation mutants using a sigma(F)-dependent gpr-lacZ reporter as a probe, we identified a new gene (ywfN) required for maximal expression of...
