Abstract excerpt
Exposure to high pressure induces germination in spores of Bacillus subtilis. To investigate the mechanisms of this process and to compare the pressure and nutrient induced germination pathways, a random transposon knock-out library of B. subtilis was constructed and screened for clones with a compromised pressure induced germination at 100 MPa. Two mutants were isolated and their transposon insertion was mapped...
