Uptake of environmental DNA in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> occurs all over the cell surface through a dynamic pilus structure

2023-03-10

Abstract excerpt

At the transition to stationary phase, a subpopulation of Bacillus subtilis cells can enter the developmental state of competence, where DNA is taken up through the cell envelope, is processed to single stranded DNA, which is incorporated into the genome if sufficient homology between sequences exists. We show here that the initial step of transport across the cell wall occurs via a true pilus structure, with an...
