Abstract

A thermosensitive sporulation mutant of Bacillus subtilis containing a mutation in the secY gene was isolated and characterized. No asymmetric septum specific to the sporulation was detected by electron microscopy at the nonpermissive temperature, indicating that the block occurred at a very early stage of sporulation. Furthermore, competence development in the mutant cell was affected even at the sporulation-proficient temperature. It is assumed that the SecY protein of B. subtilis has multiple roles both in the regulation of spore formation and in stationary-phase-associated phenomena.
