Abstract excerpt

A Bacillus subtilis gerC spore germination mutant demonstrating a temperature-sensitive response to L-alanine as germinant has been characterized in detail. The gerC58 mutation is 50% cotransformed with aroB in the gene order gerC-aroB-trpC. The mutation is responsible for a severe growth defect...
