Cell wall turnover in lyt mutants of Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract excerpt

One of the reported phenotypes of Bacillus subtilis strains containing the lyt mutations is a deficiency in cell wall turnover. However, it has recently been shown in our laboratory that these mutant cells can turn over their walls under certain conditions (Vitkovic et al. [2, 11] and Abstr. K3, Annu. Meet. Am. Soc. Microbiol., 1984, p. 147). I show in this paper that the long lag in wall turnover of lyt-1 (FJ3)...
