The role of Bacillus anthracis germinant receptors in germination and virulence.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jan 2010

Carr Katherine A, Lybarger Suzanne R, Anderson Erica C, Janes Brian K, Hanna Philip C

Abstract excerpt

Nutrient-dependent germination of Bacillus anthracis spores is stimulated when receptors located in the inner membrane detect combinations of amino acid and purine nucleoside germinants. B. anthracis produces five distinct germinant receptors, GerH, GerK, GerL, GerS and GerX. Otherwise isogenic mutant strains expressing only one of these receptors were created and tested for germination and virulence. The GerH...
