Abstract excerpt
In Bacillus subtilis, two extracellular signaling peptides, ComX pheromone and CSF (competence and sporulation factor), stimulate the development of genetic competence and surfaction biosynthesis in response to high cell density (quorum sensing) by regulating the activity of transcription factor ComA. We recently showed that biosynthesis of dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin is linked to ComA and PhrC(CSF) in a...
