Abstract
The Bacillus subtilis gene encoding gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) activity encodes a protein of 587 amino acids having extensive homolo gies with other procaryotic GGTs. Inactivation of the gene abolished a ll measurable GGT activity, which in the wild type was found mainly to be excreted into the medium commencing at the end of vegetative growt h.
