Developmental block in citric acid cycle mutants of Bacillus subtilis

Developmental block in citric acid cycle mutants of Bacillus subtilis

E B Freese et al. J Bacteriol. 1973 Dec.

Abstract

Mutants deficient in different enzymes of the citric acid cycle can be subdivided into two groups according to the frequency at which they produce heat-resistant spores in nutrient sporulation medium. However, the majority of cells can develop in this medium only to the axial filament stage I of sporulation; aconitase and isocitrate dehydrogenase mutants need the addition of glutamate to reach this stage.
