Abstract excerpt

Development of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis is regulated by ComP--ComA, a two-component signal transduction system. The response regulator ComA is primarily activated by ComP, a histidine kinase that mediates response to nutrient conditions and cell density, and the activated ComA is required for transcription of the srf operon, which is essential for the development of genetic competence and surfactin...
