Glucose-resistant sporulation in Bacillus subtilis crsA47 mutants does not depend on promoter switching at the spo0A gene.
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.
