| Research Abstract |
The developmentally regulated gene spoVFB which encodes a dipicolinic acid synthetase was interrupted by a phage-like DNA in Bacillus weihenstephanensis KBAB4.We showed that the spoVFB gene is a composite of two truncated genes named 5'-spoVFB and 3'-spoVFB, which are brought together by site-specific recombination during sporulation.
