Abstract
A thermosensitive sporulation mutant was used to determine the order of sporulation operonsin the urs region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. Data from three-factor transformation crosses and three- and four-factor transduction crosses established the order metC-SPO-96(SpoII)-spo-85(SpoV)-spo-279(SpoII)-furA-ura-cysC-spo-NG1.67(SpoIII). Previously, furA was thought to lie to the right of ura and cysC to the left (Dubnau, 1970; Young and Wilson, 1972).
