Basic information
- Locus tag: BSU03569
Phenotypes of a mutant
No swarming motility on B medium. PubMed
Database entries
- DBTBS entry: no entry
- SubtiList entry: [1]
Additional information
- This gene is a pseudogene in B. subtilis 168 due to a mutation that resulted in an internal frameshift. The second part of the pseudogene is sfp/2.
- Correction of sfp, epsC, swrAA, and degQ as well as introduction of rapP from a plasmid present in NCIB3610 results in biofilm formation in B. subtilis 168 PubMed
