Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis laboratory strain JH642 shows a cold-sensitive phenotype after a temperature shift from 37 to 15 degrees C in comparison to wild type strain MR168. A mutation in the acetolactate synthase complex IlvBH was found to be partially responsible for this growth defect after cold shock. Via DNA sequencing, genetic and biochemical studies, this defect was characterized, which entails a substitution...
