title: Apparent inactivation of inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase in sporulating Bacillus subtilis Is an artifact of in vitro proteolysis.
abstract: The intracellular levels of inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase were found to decline very slowly during stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis when adequate precautions were taken to prevent proteolysis after cell rupture.
