We constructed an spoOF deletion (spoOF delta S) mutant of Bacillus subtilis by inserting a chromosomal segment carried by plasmid pUBSF delta S. This plasmid carries a 0.7-kilobase pair deletion that removes the spoOF promoter and a part of the structural gene. We used the spoOF deletion mutant to
Bacillus subtilis strain SB1207, widely used in our laboratory, was found to be highly temperature-sensitive and to exhibit a strong SOS-independent mutator phenotype at elevated temperatures. Both chromosomal and plasmid-borne genes were affected by the mutator. Lethality and mutator phenotype coul
