Abstract excerpt
Previous results have shown that the Bacillus subtilis clpP gene is required for developmental processes such as sporulation and competence development. Little is known about its function during the initiation of sporulation. We studied the effect of clpP mutation on the early events of sporulation. The expression of the spo0A and spoIIG genes, whose active transcription requires the phosphorylated Spo0A protein...
