Abstract excerpt
spo0A and spo0H are needed for the initiation of sporulation and for the development of genetic competence in Bacillus subtilis. Transcription of spo0A initiates from two promoters, Pv and Ps. Pv is active during vegetative growth and is recognized by RNA polymerase containing sigma A. Expression from Ps increases during sporulation and depends on sigma H, the spo0H gene product. A deletion mutation, spo0A delta...
