Relationship between sporulation and synthesis of mycobacillin and dipicolinic acid under condition of catabolite repression in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract:

:Sporulation was repressed in the parent strain by various carbon sources whereas glucose-resistant mutants were resistant to them but not to glycerol 2-phosphate. Both mycobacillin and dipicolinic acid synthesis were repressed in the parent by some of the compounds tested, viz. glucose, pyruvate and glycerol 2-phosphate. However, these syntheses in the glucose-resistant mutants were not repressed by glucose and pyruvate but were repressed by glycerol 2-phosphate. The possible interrelationship between sporulation, dipicolinic acid and mycobacillin synthesis is discussed in light of these findings.
