Proteinbiosynthesen nach Hitzeschock inBacillus subtilis

Abstract
Heat-activated spores of B. subtilis synthesize during the early outgrowth special proteins which are absent from vegetative cells. Some of these outgrowth-specific proteins may be synthesized in response to heat activation of spores. In vegetative cells of B. subtilis synthesis of several proteins is markedly induced when temperature is shifted up from 30 to 44.degree. C. None of these putative heat shock proteins is synthesized during early outgrowth of heat-activated spores at 30.degree. C.
