title: Bacterial sporulation and regulation of dihydrodipicolinate synthase in ribonucleic acid polymerase mutants of Bacillus subtilis.
abstract: The activity of dihydrodipicolinate synthase increased late in sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Mutants blocked at several stages of sporulation due to having an altered ribonucleic acid polymerase failed to exhibit this increase.
