Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a genetic model for developmental and differentiation cycles and the relationship of these pathways with other cellular functions. Of interest are the relationship of genetic regulation of development with the expression of global stress response networks. An example of this type of coordination is the oxidative stress system. B. subtilis was shown to respond to oxidative stress by several unique mechanisms that fall into two categories when H;Catalase-dependent H;In order to study kat-19 gene expression, the entire open reading frame of the kat-19 gene, as well as regions 5... |
