Ethidium bromide-resistant mutant of Bacillus subtilis.
An ethidium bromide-resistant mutant (EB8) derived from a Marburg strain of Bacillus subtilis was found to be conditionally resistant to 10 mug of ethidium bromide per ml. Expression of resistance is complete only during vegetative growth at incubation temperatures above 30 C in complex medium or minimal medium supplemented with Casamino Acids. Strain EB8 is cross-resistant to acriflavine and p...
متن کاملAlcohol-resistant sporulation mutants of Bacillus subtilis.
About 80% of Bacillus subtilis cells form spores when grown in nutrient broth. In medium containing various short-chain aliphatic alcohols, the frequency of sporulation was reduced to 0.5%. Mutants sporulated in the presence of alcohols at a frequency of 30 to 40%. Sporulation in the wild-type cells was sensitive to alcohol at the beginning of sporulation (stage zero). Sensitivity to alcohol in...
متن کاملCharacterization of a rifampin-resistant, conditional asporogenous mutant of Bacillus subtilis.
A rifampin-resistant, conditionally asporgoenous mutant of Bacillus subtilis was isolated that sporulates poorly in Sterlini-Mandelstam sporulation medium, but that sporulates normally in modified Difco sporulation medium. Rifampin-resistant (Rif-r) and conditional asporogenous (Spo-c) phenotypes co-transformed at 100% frequency. Preliminary genetic studies indicated the Rif-r trait to lie betw...
متن کاملMechanism of Ethidium Bromide Fluorescence Enhancement on
The mechanism of the enhancement of the fluorescence of ethidium bromide on binding to double helical RNA and DNA has been investigated. From an examination of the effect of different solvents on the fluorescence lifetime, quenching of fluorescence by proton acceptors, and the substantial lengthening of lifetime observed upon deuteration of the amino protons, regardless of the medium, we conclu...
متن کاملMutant of Bacillus subtilis lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity.
A procedure for the isolation of exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase mutants, by using a plate assay method incorporating a fluorescent substrate, has been developed. A mutant lacking exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity has been isolated and shown to grow, divide, autolyze, and sporulate as well as the parental strain.
