The regulation of competence transcription factor synthesis constitutes a critical control point in the regulation of competence in Bacillus subtilis.

comK, which encodes the competence transcription factor, is itself transcriptionally activated at the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis. MecA, a negative regulator of competence, also inhibits comK transcription when overexpressed, and a mecA null mutation r...
