Abstract excerpt
A Bacillus subtilis strain with a base substitution in the ribosome-binding site of spoVAC was temperature sensitive (ts) in sporulation and spores prepared at the permissive temperature were ts in L-alanine-triggered germination, but not in germination with Ca2+-dipicolinic acid (DPA) or dodecylamine. Spores of a ts spo mutant with a missense mutation in the spoVAC coding region were not ts for germination with...
