A thermosensitive mutation pt8I1 in the gene coding for the Enzyme I of the PEP-phosphotransferase system pathway has been isolated. The mutant enzyme was shown to be sensitive to high temperature, but this effect is dependent on the ionic strength. The ptsI1 mutation was shown to belong to the prev

We present the sequence of a 2 kb fragment of the Bacillus subtilis Marburg genome containing sacB, the structural gene of levansucrase, a secreted enzyme inducible by sucrose. The peptide sequence deduced for the secreted enzyme is very similar to that directly determined by Delfour (1981) for leva
Bacillus subtilis Marburg is nonpermissive for the multiplication of bacteriophages SP10 and phi NR2. A permissive mutant was derived from the Marburg strain, and the genetic determinants of non-permissiveness were analyzed by PBS1 transduction. The simultaneous presence of two genes as mutant allel
The nucleotide sequence was determined of a 3211 nucleotide pair EcoRI-PvuII DNA fragment containing the tms and prs genes as well as a part of the ctc gene of Bacillus subtilis. The prs gene encodes phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase, whereas the functioning of the tms and ctc gene produ
