Abstract excerpt
Glutamine, like glucose, repressed sporulation and the synthesis of mycobacillin and dipicolinic acid by Bacillus subtilis, and these syntheses were depressed by dibutyryl cyclic GMP but not by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Neither of these dibutyryl cyclic nucleotides affected sporulation or a number of spore-associated parameters in the strain under normal physiological conditions. Mutants insensitive to glutamine...
