Growth stage signal transduction and the requirements for srfA induction in development of competence.

Abstract excerpt

srfA is an operon needed for the development of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis. This operon is normally expressed at a low level during growth, and its transcription increases sharply just before the transition to stationary phase. The genetic requirements for the full expression of srfA...
