Abstract excerpt

The role of the sleB gene of Bacillus subtilis, which encodes a putative spore-cortex-lytic enzyme, and the downstream ypeB gene were investigated. Both SleB and YpeB were required for normal germination to occur. The corresponding mutants formed phase-bright, heat-resistant spores with no apparent defects in dormancy. However, mutant spore suspensions lost optical density slower than the wild-type and spores...
