Timing of spoII gene expression relative to septum formation during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis

A Gholamhoseinian et al. J Bacteriol. 1989 Oct.

Abstract

spoII mutants formed heat-resistant spores when transformed with spo+ DNa near the start of sporulation. Many of the spores formed remained genetically spoII. It is deduced from this result and previous epistasis experiments that the spoII loci are transcribed before the spore septum is formed.
