Mutant strains lacking YloB produce many phase-dark spores. B. subtilis strains were grown and sporulated in 2×SG medium, and spores were purified by water washing. Phase-contrast microscopy revealed that approximately 50% of the spores produced by all strains containing yloB deletion mutations were phase dark. Scale bars, 5 μm.
