The spoIIIA locus is not a major determinant of prespore-specific gene expression during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1990

Abstract excerpt

During sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, expression of several prespore-specific genes is strongly dependent on the spoIIIE and spoIIIG gene products. Previous reports have also indicated a requirement for the products of the spoIIIA locus. However, we have now systematically studied six differen...
