spoVIC, a new sporulation locus in Bacillus subtilis affecting spore coats, germination and the rate of sporulation.

A mutation near cysB on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome marks a new sporulation locus, spoVIC. It causes spores to germinate more slowly than those of the wild-type under all conditions and, from indirect evidence, it does not appear to alter the affinity for the germinant L-alanine.
