    Abstract:
    Hiraga, Sota (Osaka University, Osaka, Japan). Regulation of synthesis of alkaline phosphatase by deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in a constitutive mutant of Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 91:2192-2199. 1966.-It was found that synthesis of alkaline phosphatase (APase) correlated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in a partially constitutive mutant of Bacillus subtilis. When cultures of the mutant were made to undergo synchronous growth by germination of spores in an excess-phosphate medium, synthesis of APase was repressed at the beginning of DNA synthesis. If the initiation of DNA synthesis was inhibited by thymine starvation, the repression of APase was not observed. When DNA synthesis, previously initiated, was inhibited by thymine or uracil starvation, or by addition of mitomycin C, the repression was partially released at a later stage. In contrast, this correlation between repression and DNA synthesis was not observed in a repressible strain.
