Properties of Bacillus subtilis mutants temperature sensitive in germination.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new mutant of Bacillus subtilis defective in the outgrowth phase of spore germination has been isolated. When incubated at 46 C, the spores of the mutant gave rise to abnormally large swollen cells. Genetic crosses show that the mutant is different from the three previously described. The genetic analysis indicates two regions of the B. subtilis chromosome involved in the control of the spore outgrowth.

Genetic analysis of the developmental processes during germination and outgrowth of Bacillus subtilis spores with temperature-sensitive mutants.
HE developmental processes in bacteriophage T4 have been studied extenTsively with temperature-sensitive mutants and amber mutants (EDGAR, DENHARDT and EPSTEIN 1964; EDGAR and LIELAUSIS 1964). In Bacillus subtilis, the sporulation process has been studied with asporogenous mutants ( RYTER, SCHAEFFER and IONESCO 1966; TAKAHASHI 1965). We examined the developmental processes involved in the trans...
متن کاملConditional dihydrostreptomycin resistance in Bacillus subtilis.
Mutants resistant to dihydrostreptomycin were isolated and genetically analyzed in Bacillus subtilis. Two new classes of mutants distinct from the ribosomal strA locus were found. One class, strB, was located between metC3 and ura-1 on the chromosome. The second class, strC, mapped in the spore gene region close to the spoA locus. Both mutant classes were resistant to dihydrostreptomycin during...
متن کاملRole of SpoVA proteins in release of dipicolinic acid during germination of Bacillus subtilis spores triggered by dodecylamine or lysozyme.
The release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) during the germination of Bacillus subtilis spores by the cationic surfactant dodecylamine exhibited a pH optimum of approximately 9 and a temperature optimum of 60 degrees C. DPA release during dodecylamine germination of B. subtilis spores with fourfold-elevated levels of the SpoVA proteins that have been suggested to be involved in the release of DPA dur...
متن کاملRole of DNA repair by nonhomologous-end joining in Bacillus subtilis spore resistance to extreme dryness, mono- and polychromatic UV, and ionizing radiation.
The role of DNA repair by nonhomologous-end joining (NHEJ) in spore resistance to UV, ionizing radiation, and ultrahigh vacuum was studied in wild-type and DNA repair mutants (recA, splB, ykoU, ykoV, and ykoU ykoV mutants) of Bacillus subtilis. NHEJ-defective spores with mutations in ykoU, ykoV, and ykoU ykoV were significantly more sensitive to UV, ionizing radiation, and ultrahigh vacuum than...
متن کاملCharacterization of Bacillus subtilis mutants with a temperature-sensitive intracellular protease.
A colony screening procedure was devised to detect Bacillus subtilis mutants containing temperature-sensitive trypsin-like intracellular protease activity. The enzyme was characterized as a non-sulfhydryl serine protease on the basis of inhibitor studies. It was also inhibited by D- or L-histidine but not by any other amino acid tested. The long-term survival at 45 degrees C of these mutants in...
