The role of autolysins during vegetative growth of Bacillus subtilis 168.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jan 1998

Blackman Steve A, Smith Thomas J, Foster Simon J

Abstract excerpt

A set of isogenic mutants of Bacillus subtilis 168, insertionally inactivated in the genes encoding a number of lytic enzymes and a sigma factor (sigma D, which controls the expression of a number of autolysins) was constructed. Phenotypic analysis of the mutants determined the individual and com...
