The ExsA protein of Bacillus cereus is required for assembly of coat and exosporium onto the spore surface.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2005

Bailey-Smith Karen, Todd Sarah J, Southworth Thomas W, Proctor John, Moir Anne

Abstract excerpt

The outermost layer of spores of the Bacillus cereus family is a loose structure known as the exosporium. Spores of a library of Tn917-LTV1 transposon insertion mutants of B. cereus ATCC 10876 were partitioned into hexadecane; a less hydrophobic mutant that was isolated contained an insertion in the exsA promoter region. ExsA is the equivalent of SafA (YrbA) of Bacillus subtilis, which is also implicated in spore...
