Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the spoIIE locus of Bacillus subtilis block sporulation at the stage of asymmetric septation and prevent compartment-specific activation of the transcription factor delta F. Recent ultrastructural studies of spoIIE mutants led to the conclusion that cells blocked at the stage of asym...
