Plasmid-encoded genes influence exosporium assembly and morphology in Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Sept 2015

Manetsberger Julia, Hall Elizabeth A H, Christie Graham

Abstract excerpt

Spores of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 are encased in a morphologically distinctive exosporium. We demonstrate here that genes encoded on the indigenous pBM500 and pBM600 plasmids are required for exosporium assembly and or stability in spores of this strain. Bioinformatic analyses identified genes encoding orthologues of the B. cereus-family exosporium nap and basal layer proteins within the B. megaterium...
