Temporal activation of beta-glucanase synthesis in Bacillus subtilis is mediated by the GTP pool

J Gen Microbiol. 1993 Sep;139(9):2041-5. doi: 10.1099/00221287-139-9-2041.

Abstract

beta-Glucanase synthesis was temporally activated in Bacillus subtilis at the onset of stationary phase. This regulation was dependent upon a drop in the GTP concentration in response to nutrient limitation. The Spo0A and AbrB proteins were involved in the GTP-dependent temporal activation.
