Abstract excerpt
The presence of excess glucose in growth media prevents normal sporulation of Bacillus subtilis. The crsA47 mutation, located in the gene for the vegetative phase sigma factor (sigma(A)) results in a glucose-resistant sporulation phenotype. As part of a study of the mechanisms whereby the mutation in sigma(A) overcomes glucose repression of sporulation, we examined the expression of genes involved in sporulation...
