Genetic requirements for induction of germination of spores of Bacillus subtilis by Ca(2+)-dipicolinate.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2001

Paidhungat M, Ragkousi K, Setlow P

Abstract excerpt

Dormant Bacillus subtilis spores can be induced to germinate by nutrients, as well as by nonmetabolizable chemicals, such as a 1:1 chelate of Ca(2+) and dipicolinic acid (DPA). Nutrients bind receptors in the spore, and this binding triggers events in the spore core, including DPA excretion and rehydration, and also activates hydrolysis of the surrounding cortex through mechanisms that are largely unknown. As...
