Abstract excerpt
Four genes [sspI, sspK, sspM, and sspO (originally called cotK)] encoding minor small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) unique to spores of Bacillus subtilis are expressed only in the forespore compartment of sporulating cells of this organism. The sspI, sspK and sspM genes are monocistronic, while sspO is the first gene in a likely operon with sspP (originally called cotL), which also encodes a putative very small...
