Bacterial spore-formers: friends and foes

28 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

Spore-forming bacteria mainly belong to two genera of the Firmicutes phylum, the aerobic or facultative anaerobic Bacilli and the strictly anaerobic Clostridia. These organisms share the ability to undergo a complex developmental cell differentiation process that allows them to adapt to harsh environmental conditions by producing highly resistant endospores (spores). The process of spore formation, sporulation,...
