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 combined roles of the autolysins in vegetative growth. The major vegetative autolysins of B. subtilis, LytC (50 kDa...
