Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Bacillus subtilis major RNA polymerase sigma factor gene (rpoD/crsA47) and a sensory receiver gene (spoOA/rvtA11) are potent intergenic suppressors of several stage 0 sporulation mutations (spoOB, OE, OF & OK). We show here that these suppressors also rescue temperature-sensitive sporulation phenotypes (Spots) caused by mutations in RNA polymerase, ribosomal protein, and protein synthesis...
