Shaping an Endospore: Architectural Transformations During Bacillus subtilis Sporulation.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2020 Endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis provides an ideal model system for studying development in bacteria. Sporulation studies have contributed a wealth of information about the mechanisms of cell-specific gene expression, chromosome dynamics, protein

Study of Bacillus subtilis Endospores in Soil by Use of a Modified Endospore Stain [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985 The Schaeffer-Fulton endospore stain was modified so that it would stain Bacillus subtilis endospores in soil smears. The modified stain differentiated among dormant spores, spores undergoing activation, and spores which had germinated but had not yet shown outgrowth.

Endospore pili: Flexible, stiff, and sticky nanofibers
Biophysical Journal, 2023 Species belonging to the Bacillus cereus group form endospores (spores) whose surface is decorated with micrometers-long and nanometers-wide endospore appendages (Enas). The Enas have recently been shown to represent a completely novel class of Gram-positive pili.

Surface Layers of Clostridium difficile Endospores [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2011 ABSTRACT Clostridium difficile is an important human pathogen and one where the primary cause of disease is due to the transmission of spores. We have investigated the proteins found in the outer coat layers of C. difficile spores of pathogenic strain 630 (CD630). Five coat proteins, CotA, CotB,

No Endospore Formation Confirmed in Members of the Phylum Proteobacteria
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Bacterial endospore formation is an important process that allows the formation of dormant life forms called spores. Organisms able to sporulate can survive harsh environmental conditions for hundreds of years.
