Abstract excerpt
We have isolated mutations that block sporulation after formation of the polar septum in Bacillus subtilis. These mutations were mapped to the two genes of a new locus, spoIIS. Inactivation of the second gene, spoIISB, decreases sporulation efficiency by 4 orders of magnitude. Inactivation of the first gene, spoIISA, has no effect on sporulation but it fully restores sporulation of a spoIISB null mutant,...
