Cytochrome C∧550 is Related to Initiation of Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

The effect of cytochrome c∧550 encoded by cccA in Bacillus subtilis during the event of sporulation was investigated. The sporulation of cccA-overexpressing mutant was significantly accelerated, while disruptant strain showed delayed sporulation in spite of the same growth rate. Activity of sporulat...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The effect of cytochrome c∧550 encoded by cccA in Bacillus subtilis during the event of sporulation was investigated. The sporulation of cccA-overexpressing mutant was significantly accelerated, while disruptant strain showed delayed sporulation in spite of the same growth rate. Activity of sporulation stage-0-specific enzyme, extracellular α-amylase of mutant strains was similar to that of the control strain, but cccA-overexpressing mutant exhibited higher activity of stage-Ⅱ-specific alkaline phosphatase and stage-Ⅲ-specific glucose dehydrogenase when compared to deletion mutant and control strain.
