Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis divIVB1 mutation causes aberrant positioning of the septum during cell division, resulting in the formation of small, anucleate cells known as minicells. We report the cloning of the wild-type allele of divIVB1 and show that the mutation lies within a stretch of DNA containi...
