title: Glucose-resistant sporulation in Bacillus subtilis crsA47 mutants does not depend on promoter switching at the spo0A gene.
abstract: We have found that sporulation in Bacillus subtilis crsA47 mutants does not require the sigma(H)-dependent promoter of the spo0A gene. This implies that the glucose-resistant sporulation phenotype of this strain is not related to the switch from the vegetative-stage sigma(A)-dependent promoter to the sigma(H)-dependent promoter at the spo0A gene.
