Abstract excerpt
Spore cortex-lytic enzymes are essential for germination in Bacillus. A homologue of the cwlJ gene involved in spore germination was isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis. The deduced product of this gene exhibits striking sequence similarity to CwlJ of Bacillus subtilis. Another open reading frame (ORF) was found 27 bp downstream of cwlJ and its deduced product shows high similarity to YwdL of B. subtilis....
