Identification of a sporulation locus in cloned Bacillus subtilis deoxyribonucleic acid.
A cloned deoxyribonucleic acid from the purA-cysA region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome was shown to contain the spoVC locus, a gene whose product is required for sporulation. This is the first demonstration of a spo locus in cloned B. subtilis deoxyribonucleic acid.
