Pulsed Feedback Defers Cellular Differentiation [PDF]
, 2012 Environmental signals induce diverse cellular differentiation programs. In certain systems, cells defer differentiation for extended time periods after the signal appears, proliferating through multiple rounds of cell division before committing to a new ...

The trans-activation domain of the sporulation response regulator Spo0A revealed by X-ray crystallography [PDF]
, 2000 Sporulation in Bacillus involves the induction of scores of genes in a temporally and spatially co-ordinated programme of cell development. Its initiation is under the control of an expanded two-component signal transduction system termed a phosphorelay.

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

High sporulation and overexpression of virulence factors in biofilms and reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and linezolid in recurrent Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection isolates [PDF]
, 2019 Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection (CDI) is one of the leading causes of diarrhea associated with medical care worldwide, and up to 60% of patients with CDI can develop a recurrent infection (R-CDI). A multi-species microbiota biofilm model

Ancestral sporulation initiation [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryMembers of the classes Bacilli and Clostridia are able to form endospores, with clostridia representing the ancestral phylogenetic line. In contrast to Bacillus subtilis, the process of sporulation initiation at the molecular level is less well understood in Clostridium acetobutylicum, the model organism of the clostridia.

Sporulation conditions influence the surface and adhesion properties of Bacillus subtilis spores
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Spore-forming bacteria of the Bacillus subtilis group are responsible for recurrent contamination of processing lines in the food industry which can lead to food spoilage. The persistence of B.
