Bacillus subtilis relG Mutant: Defect in Glucose Uptake

Virginia L Price 1, Jonathan A Gallant 1
PMCID: PMC217365  PMID: 6184362

Abstract

A previously described Bacillus subtilis mutant which exhibits a relaxed phenotype after glucose limitation (relG) has been characterized further. Analysis of this mutant and of the downshift mechanism in B. subtilis has shown that the primary defect lies in glucose uptake.
