A Bacillus subtilis germination gene gerK that is essential for spore's response to glucose has been cloned and sequenced. An ORF was found encoding a polypeptide comprising 407 amino acids that is considerably homologous with the product of gerAC, the third gene of the gerA operon. Neither promoter-like nor terminator-like sequence was found suggesting that the gerK also may be a constituent of an operon.
