Phytopathology®, 2004 Bacilli, which are abundant in the soil, form highly resistant dormant cell types, called spores, in response to starvation. The spore is organized into a series of concentrically arranged structures, each of which contribute in a different way to resistance against environmental stress.

Manganese Oxidation by Spores and Spore Coats of a Marine Bacillus Species [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1986 Bacillus sp. strain SG-1 is a marine bacterial species isolated from a near-shore manganese sediment sample. Its mature dormant spores promote the oxidation of Mn 2+ to MnO 2 .

Studies on the Bacterial Spore Coat [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1980 AbstractProperties of alkali‐soluble components from the spore coat of Bacillus megaterium were examined by physicochemical methods. They were composed of acidic polypeptides of various molecular weights with small amounts of phosphorus and sugar. They were allowed to dissociate to unit components by incubation with SDS.

Characterization of a Bacillus anthracis spore coat-surface protein that influences coat-surface morphology [PDF]
, 2008 Bacterial spores are encased in a multilayered proteinaceous shell, called the coat. In many Bacillus spp., the coat protects against environmental assault and facilitates germination. In Bacillus anthracis , the spore is the etiological agent of anthrax,

A dynamic, ring-forming MucB / RseB-like protein influences spore shape in Bacillus subtilis.
PLoS Genetics, 2020 How organisms develop into specific shapes is a central question in biology. The maintenance of bacterial shape is connected to the assembly and remodelling of the cell envelope.

Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2003 Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible shield.
