[Mutants of Bacillus subtilis resistant to lysine analog S-2 aminoethyl-L-cysteine].

AECR mutants of Bacillus subtilis were obtained and analyzed. The mutants were characterized by derepression of aspartokinase II and diaminopimelate decarboxylase synthesis and the synthesis of the precursor of lysine--DAP. According to genetic mapping data, aec mutations are localized in some B. subtilis chromosomal regions; they are linked to the thr5, leuA8, lys21 markers.
