DNA supercoiling and thermal regulation of unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis growing at 37° C synthesizes, almost exclusively, saturated fatty acids. However, when a culture growing at 37°C is transferred to 20°C, the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids is induced. The addition of the DNA gyrase inhibitor novobiocin specifically prevented the induction of...
