During Bacillus subtilis sporulation, the transient engulfment defect of spoIIB strains is enhanced by spoVG null mutations and suppressed by spoVS null mutations. These mutations have opposite effects on expression of the motility regulon, as the spoVG mutation reduces and the spoVS mutation increases sigmaD-directed gene expression, cell separation, and autolysis. Elevating sigmaD activity by eliminating the anti-sigma factor FlgM also suppresses spoIIB spoVG, and both flgM and spoVS mutations ...[more]
