Fig. 7From: Influence of B. subtilis 3NA mutations in spo0A and abrB on surfactin production in B. subtilis 168Overview of a part of the regulatory mechanisms and their interplay that influence the gene expression of the surfactin-forming srfA operon in B. subtilis. Global cellular differentiation processes are involved, such as ComX-mediated competence development, Spo0A dependent initiation of the sporulation and regulatory crosstalk of the AbrB regulatorBack to article page
