Metabolic and chromosomal changes in a Bacillus subtilis whiA mutant

Metabolic and chromosomal changes in a Bacillus subtilis whiA mutant

ABSTRACT The conserved protein WhiA is present in most Gram-positive bacteria and plays a role in cell division. WhiA contains a DNA-binding motif and is a transcription regulator of the key cell division gene ftsZ in actinomycetes. In Bacillus subtilis, the absence of WhiA influences both cell divi...
