A DegU-P and DegQ-Dependent Regulatory Pathway for the K-state in Bacillus subtilis
The K-state in the model bacterium Bacillus subtilis is associated with transformability (competence) as well as with growth arrest and tolerance for antibiotics. Entry into the K-state is determined by the stochastic activation of the transcription factor ComK and occurs in about ∼15% of the popula...
