Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the spoVB gene in Bacillus subtilis causes the production of spores containing a defective cortex and unable to acquire heat resistance. The spoVB locus is highly linked to another spo locus, spoIIIF, characterized by a single mutation (I. L. Lamont and J. Mandelstam, J. Gen. Microbiol. 130:1253-1261, 1984). A 18-kb DNA region overlapping the spoIIIF-spoVB region was cloned in successive steps...
