Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Upon starvation diploid cells of the facultative sexual yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergo sporulation, forming four metabolically quiescent and robust haploid spores encased in a degradable ascus. All endosymbionts, whether they provide net benefits

Temporal Expression of a Master Regulator Drives Synchronous Sporulation in Budding Yeast
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Yeast cells enter and undergo gametogenesis relatively asynchronously, making it technically challenging to perform stage-specific genomic and biochemical analyses.

High-Throughput Genetic Screens Identify a Large and Diverse Collection of New Sporulation Genes in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 The differentiation of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis into a dormant spore is among the most well-characterized developmental pathways in biology. Classical genetic screens performed over the past half century identified scores of factors involved in ...

Dynamical consequences of bandpass feedback loops in a bacterial phosphorelay. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Under conditions of nutrient limitation, Bacillus subtilis cells terminally differentiate into a dormant spore state. Progression to sporulation is controlled by a genetic circuit consisting of a phosphorelay embedded in multiple transcriptional feedback

Sporulation of the “Thermophilic Anaerobes.” [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1967 A reasonable degree of synchrony in the sporulation of Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum 3814 was obtained by using three 10% transfers of 8-hr cultures in a medium containing 0.5% L-arabinose, 0.5% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract, and Gc minerals.

Structural, Metabolic and Evolutionary Comparison of Bacterial Endospore and Exospore Formation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Sporulation is a specialized developmental program employed by a diverse set of bacteria which culminates in the formation of dormant cells displaying increased resilience to stressors.

mBio, 2018 Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacillus that under conditions of environmental stress, such as low nutrients, can convert from a vegetative bacillus to a highly durable spore that enables long-term survival. The sporulation process is regulated by

Transcriptional Profile of Bacillus subtilis sigF-Mutant during Vegetative Growth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Sigma factor F is the first forespore specific transcription factor in Bacillus subtilis and controls genes required for the early stages of prespore development. The role of sigF is well studied under conditions that induce sporulation. Here, the impact
