A novel class of ultra-stable endospore appendages decorated with collagen-like tip fibrillae

2023-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial endospores are remarkable examples of biological resilience, representing a dormant and heavily fortified differentiation form capable of withstanding physical and chemical stressors detrimental to vegetative cells. In pathogenic firmicutes, spores also form an infectious particle and can take up a central role in the environmental persistence and dissemination of disease. A poorly understood aspect of s...
