Binding of small, acid-soluble spore proteins to DNA plays a significant role in the resistance of Bacillus subtilis spores to hydrogen peroxide.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Oct 1993

Setlow B, Setlow P

Abstract excerpt

Dormant spores of Bacillus subtilis which lack the majority of the alpha/beta-type small, acid-soluble proteins (SASP) (termed alpha- beta- spores) that coat the DNA in wild-type spores are significantly more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide than are wild-type spores. Hydrogen peroxide treatment of alpha- beta- spores causes DNA strand breaks more readily than does comparable treatment of wild-type spores, and...
