Abstract excerpt
At the onset of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, an asymmetric cell division gives rise to two unequal-sized compartments with distinct developmental fates. The smaller compartment, or prespore, becomes the spore, whilst the larger compartment, or mother cell, eventually lyses after contributing to spore maturation. The fate of each compartment is determined by differential gene expression, controlled by the...
