Structural Analysis of Bacillus subtilis Spore Peptidoglycan During Sporulation
Bacterial spore peptidoglycan (PG) is very loosely cross-linked relative to vegetative PG. Theories suggest that loosely cross-linked spore PG may have a flexibility which contributes to the attainment of spore core dehydration. The structure of the PG found in fully dormant spores has previously …

Requirements for Compartmentalization of Penicillin-Binding Proteins during Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis
… enzymes involved in the polymerization of peptidoglycan. PBP's are divided into three classes based upon their molecular weights and functional domains. Gene expression is regulated in the two differentiated cells in Bacillus subtilis, the mother cell and the forespore, by coordinated …

Analysis of the Roles of the cwlD Operon Products during Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis
… and the N-acetyl muramic acid residue in cortex peptidoglycan formation during sporulation. A major difference between vegetative peptidoglycan and spore peptidoglycan is the presence of muramic-<FONT FACE="Symbol">d</FONT> -lactam (MAL) in spore peptidoglycan. It was previously determined that a …

Molecular analyses of YhcN/YlaJ and spore-associated proteins involved in germination of Bacillus cereus spores
Bacterial spores formed by members of the Bacillales are notable for their properties of dormancy and resistance to a range of physicochemical and biological factors that would kill their vegetative cellular counterparts. Bacillus cereus is one such spore-forming organism, and is a significant …
