Abstract excerpt
The Spo0A regulatory protein controls the onset of stationary phase and sporulation by controlling transcription in both a negative and a positive manner depending on the promoter affected. Missense mutations, e.g., spo0A9V, which result in alterations in the eleventh amino acid preceding the C t...
