Received 17 February 2006/ Accepted 12 June 2006

Expression of yeast mitochondrial aconitase (Aco1) in a Bacillus subtilis aconitase null mutant restored aconitase activity and glutamate prototrophy but only partially restored sporulation. Late sporulation gene expression in the Aco1-expressing strain was delayed.
