Role of the gerP operon in germination and outgrowth of Bacillus anthracis spores.

PloS one - 9 Feb 2010

Carr Katherine A, Janes Brian K, Hanna Philip C

Abstract excerpt

Germination of Bacillus anthracis spores occurs when nutrients such as amino acids or purine nucleosides stimulate specific germinant receptors located in the spore inner membrane. The gerP(ABCDEF) operon has been suggested to play a role in facilitating the interaction between germinants and the...
