Isolation of a set of mutations linked to the TAG-1 locus of Bacillus subtilis, which perturb cell surface properties.
The physiological role of the teichoic acid polymers found in Gram-positive bacterial cell walls is not known. Studies of Bacillus subtilis hybrid strains implicate a defined chromosomal region, which includes the tag-1 locus, as necessary for teichoic acid biosynthesis. A set of ten mutants carryin...
