Cloning and localization of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome replication terminus, terC.
A 10.9-kb segment of the Bacillus subtilis 168 chromosome has been cloned in an Escherichia coli plasmid and shown to contain terC (the replication terminus of the chromosome). The terC-containing portion of this plasmid has been subcloned within each of two overlapping fragments of DNA, 1.75 and 1.95 kb, again in E. coli plasmids. These have afforded a more precise definition of the location of terC in the B. subtilis chromosome and provided material for a detailed analysis of the structure and functioning of this site.
