Morphogenesis of <i>Bacillus</i> Spore Surfaces
ABSTRACT Spores produced by bacilli are encased in a proteinaceous multilayered coat and, in some species (including Bacillus anthracis ), further surrounded by a glycoprotein-c...
Gene structure and precursor processing of a novel <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> spore coat protein
Summary The gene for an unusual 8kD Bacillus subtilis spore coat polypeptide has been cloned and sequenced. It contains high percentages of proline, glycine and tyrosine, lacks ...
<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Spore Coat
SUMMARY In response to starvation, bacilli and clostridia undergo a specialized program of development that results in the production of a highly resistant dormant cell type kno...
Structural and germination defects of Bacillus subtilis spores with altered contents of a spore coat protein
The start sites for transcription and translation of a Bacillus subtilis spore coat protein gene, cotT, were determined. The CotT protein was synthesized as a 10.1-kDa precursor...
A major protein component of the <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> biofilm matrix
Summary Microbes construct structurally complex multicellular communities (biofilms) through production of an extracellular matrix. Here we present evidence from scanning electr...
