Influence of the ABC Transporter YtrBCDEF of Bacillus subtilis on Competence, Biofilm Formation and Cell Wall Thickness
Bacillus subtilis develops genetic competence for the uptake of foreign DNA when cells enter stationary phase and a high cell density is reached. These signals are integrated by the competence transcription factor ComK, which is subject to transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational...
