Suppression of early competence mutations in Bacillus subtilis by mec mutations.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1990

Roggiani M, Hahn J, Dubnau D

Abstract excerpt

Although competence normally develops only in glucose-minimal salts media, mecA and mecB mutations permit the expression of competence and of late competence genes in complex media as well (D. Dubnau and M. Roggiani, J. Bacteriol. 172:4048-4055, 1990). The expression of late competence genes is d...
