GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION DURING MORPHOGENESIS

Abstract
Messenger RNA''s from Bacillus subtilis undergoing sporulation, germination, or step-down transition have been characterized and compared. Hybrid competition experiments indicate that these messengers are derived from distinct genetic loci. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that differential transcription of the genome occurs during morphogenesis. The data also complement previously observed changes in morphology and enzymatic activity in sporulating bacteria.
