An alkali-sensitive mutant was obtained from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain C-125. A DNA fragment required for the alkaliphily was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of strain C-125 by using the alkali-sensitive mutant as a host. The nucleotide sequence of the cloned DNA fragment indicated the occurrence of several ORFs. Comparison of these ORFs with sequences in the available databases revealed no closely related sequences.
