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 substituted for glucose. Mutations have been identified in two regulatory loci, mecA and mecB, which render competence...
