Abstract excerpt
Bacillus stearothermophilus PV72 expresses different S-layer genes (sbsA and sbsB) under different growth conditions. No stretches of significant sequence identity between sbsA and sbsB were detected. In order to investigate S-layer gene regulation in B. stearothermophilus PV72, we characterized the upstream regulatory region of sbsA and sbsB by sequencing and primer extension analysis. Both genes are transcribed...
