Conservation and evolution of the sporulation gene set in diverse members of the Firmicutes

2022-02-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The current classification of the phylum Firmicutes (new name, Bacillota ) features eight distinct classes, six of which include known spore-forming bacteria. In Bacillus subtilis , sporulation involves up to 500 genes, many of which do not have orthologs in other bacilli and/or clostridia. Previous studies identified about 60 sporulation genes of B. subtilis that were shared by all spore-for...
