Expression of a Bacillus megaterium sporulation-specific gene during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis

Expression of a Bacillus megaterium sporulation-specific gene during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis

S Goldrick et al. J Bacteriol. 1983 Sep.

Abstract

The gene for the Bacillus megaterium spore C protein, a sporulation-specific gene, has been transferred into Bacillus subtilis. The B. megaterium gene was expressed little, if at all, during log-phase and early-stationary-phase growth, but was expressed during sporulation with the same kinetics as and at a level similar to that of the analogous B. subtilis genes. This finding is most consistent with the regulation of this class of genes by a mechanism of positive control.
