Research Abstract |
We deleted the 10 rrn operons of B. subtilis sequentially, and constructed seven mutants, each harboring a single rrn operon in their genome. The growth rates and sporulation frequencies of these mutants were reduced drastically as compared with those of the wild type strain, indicating that normal growth as well as sporulation requires multiple copy numbers of rRNA operon. Further analysis using mutants having various numbers of rRNA operon showed that normal sporulation requies more than 5 copies of rRNA operon.
