We have mapped the chromosomal locus of rpoD, which encodes the major sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase. The rpoD locus lay between aroD and lys, tightly linked to dnaE and inseparable from crsA. Marker order in this region was acf-aroD-dnaE-rpoD(crsA)-spoOG-lys. By transformation usi
