A Novel Cell Type Enables B. subtilis To Escape From Unsuccessful Sporulation In Minimal Medium

Sporulation is the most enduring survival strategy developed by several bacterial species. However, spore development of the model organism Bacillus subtilis has mainly been studied by means of media or conditions optimized for the induction of sporogenesis. Here, I show that during prolonged growth...
