Abstract excerpt
The expression of competence genes in Bacillus subtilis is controlled by a signal transduction cascade which increases the expression of a competence transcription factor (CTF, encoded by comK) during the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase. The transcription of CTF (ComK) is d...
