In this report we present the identification and analysis of two Bacillus subtilis genes, yklA and ykzA, which are homologous to the partially RpoS-controlled osmC gene from Escherichia coli. The yklA gene is expressed at higher levels in minimal medium than in rich medium and is driven by a putative vegetative promoter. Expression of ykzA is not medium dependent but increases dramatically when cells are exposed to stress and starvation. This stress-induced increase in ykzA expression is absolut ...[more]
