title: Genetic analysis of SCO2997, encoding a TagF homologue, indicates a role for wall teichoic acids in sporulation of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
abstract: Streptomyces coelicolor contains two gene clusters putatively involved in wall teichoic acid biosynthesis. Inactivation of the tagF homologue SCO2997 or SCO2584, a component of the Streptomyces spore wall synthesizing complex, affected sporulation. The mutant phenotypes resembled those of mre mutants, suggesting a function of wall teichoic acids in the differentiation of Streptomyces.
