Programmed death in bacteria.

Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR - 1 Sept 2000

Lewis K

Abstract excerpt

Programmed cell death (PCD) in bacteria plays an important role in developmental processes, such as lysis of the mother cell during sporulation of Bacillus subtilis and lysis of vegetative cells in fruiting body formation of Myxococcus xanthus. The signal transduction pathway leading to autolysis of the mother cell includes the terminal sporulation sigma factor Esigma(K), which induces the synthesis of autolysins...
