Abstract excerpt

The Spo0A protein of Bacillus subtilis controls the onset of sporulation by regulating transcription of various genes in both positive and negative manners depending on the promoters affected. The expression of the spo0A gene occurs from two promoters (Pv,Ps), separated by 148 bp, and transcripti...
