Abstract excerpt
The predicted amino acid sequence of Bacillus subtilis ybaN (renamed pdaB) exhibits high similarity to those of several polysaccharide deacetylases. Northern hybridization analysis with sporulation sigma mutants indicated that the pdaB gene is transcribed by EsigmaE RNA polymerase and negatively regulated by SpoIIID. The pdaB mutant was deficient in spore formation. Phase- and electron microscopic observation...
