| Abstract |
The Bacillus subtilis 168 division initiation genes defined by the temperature-sensitive mutations ts-1 and ts-12 were cloned into a 10.5-kilobase EcoRI fragment of DNA in the lambda EMBL4 vector. The two genes were separated by approximately 3 kilobases. The gene in which the ts-1 mutation resides was shown to be the same as the B. subtilis homolog of the Escherichia coli ftsZ gene. The other gene was named divIB. It showed no homology to any previously identified gene and coded for a protein of 30.1 kilodaltons which was probably membrane bound. |

The results presented here, along with the other recent findings (1), establish that the region of the B. subtilis genetic map at 130 degrees contains a number of genes that are involved in the division process. On the assumption that ftsA of B. subtilis will prove to be a division gene, there were at least three such genes, ftsZ, divIB, and ftsA, in the 10.5-kb segment of DNA cloned here in lambdaLH1. |
