The Clostridium perfringens Germinant Receptor Protein GerKC Is Located in the Spore Inner Membrane and Is Crucial for Spore Germination

7 Sept 2013

Abstract excerpt

The Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium Clostridium perfringens causes a variety of diseases in both humans and animals, and spore germination is thought to be the first stage of C. perfringens infection. Previous studies have indicated that the germinant receptor (GR) proteins encoded by the bicistronic gerKA-gerKC operon as well as the proteins encoded by the gerKB and gerAA genes are required for...
