The Bacillus subtilis endospore: assembly and functions of the multilayered coat
@article{McKenney2013TheBS, title={The Bacillus subtilis endospore: assembly and functions of the multilayered coat}, author={Peter T. McKenney and A. Driks and P. Eichenberger}, journal={Nature Reviews Microbiology}, year={2013}, volume={11}, pages={33-44} }
Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis involves an asymmetric cell division followed by differentiation into two cell types, the endospore and the mother cell. The endospore coat is a multilayered shell that protects the bacterial genome during stress conditions and is composed of dozens of proteins. Recently, fluorescence microscopy coupled with high-resolution image analysis has been applied to the dynamic process of coat assembly and has shown that the coat is organized into at least four distinct… CONTINUE READING
