Papillation in Bacillus anthracis colonies: a tool for finding new mutators.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt

Colonies of Bacillus anthracis Sterne allow the growth of papillation after 6 days of incubation at 30°C on Luria-Bertani medium. The papillae are due to mutations that allow the cells to overcome the barriers to continued growth. Cells isolated from papillae display two distinct gross phenotypes (group A and group B). We determined that group A mutants have mutations in the nprR gene including frameshifts,...
