Identification of Bacillus subtilis genes for septum placement and shape determination.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1992

Levin P A, Margolis P S, Setlow P, Losick R, Sun D

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 containing two open reading frames whose predicted products are in part homologous to the products of the Escherichia coli...
