Abstract excerpt
The spo-279(ts) mutation, originally thought to be located in the spoIIG operon of Bacillus subtilis, has been mapped in close proximity but outside of the spoIIG locus. This mutation defines a new gene, spoIIN, located midway between the spoIIG and the spoVE loci, and whose product is required for successful completion of the asymmetric septation step. The spoIIN locus was cloned using a combination of 'walking...
