An mpo mutant of Bacillus subtilis requires a higher concentration of manganese than the wild type strain for normal sporulation.
mpo-1 Mutation, which causes the overproduction of at least two membrane and one cytoplasmic proteins, induced high manganese concentration-dependent sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Sporulation of the mpo-1 mutant was blocked at stage 0-I by a low concentration of manganese.
