A ComGA-dependent checkpoint limits growth during the escape from competence.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Apr 2001

Haijema B J, Hahn J, Haynes J, Dubnau D

Abstract excerpt

In Bacillus subtilis, competence for transformation develops in 5-10% of the cells in a stationary phase culture. These cells exhibit a prolonged lag in the resumption of growth and cell division during the escape from competence. To better understand the basis of this lag, we have characterized competent cultures microscopically. To distinguish the minority of competent cells, a translational fusion between...
