Developmental commitment in a bacterium.

Cell - 6 May 2005

Dworkin Jonathan, Losick Richard

Abstract excerpt

We investigated developmental commitment during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Sporulation is initiated by nutrient limitation and involves division of the developing cell into two progeny, the forespore and the mother cell, with different fates. Differentiation becomes irreversible following division when neither the forespore nor the mother cell can resume growth when provided with nutrients. We show that...
