Abstract excerpt
Sporulation is a complex developmental system characterizing Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Bacillus and Clostridium. In Bacillus subtilis the phosphorelay signal transduction system regulates the initiation of sporulation by integrating a myriad of positive and negative signals through the action of histidine sensor kinases and aspartyl phosphate phosphatases. The Spo0E family of phosphatases...
