Growth medium-independent genetic competence mutants of Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1990

Dubnau D, Roggiani M

Abstract excerpt

The development of competence in Bacillus subtilis is normally dependent on the growth medium. Expression of late competence genes occurs in glucose-minimal salts-based media but not in complex media. Expression is also inhibited when glutamine is added to competence medium and when glycerol is s...
