Ultrastructure of Exospore Formation in Streptomyces Revealed by Cryo-Electron Tomography

Many bacteria form spores in response to adverse environmental conditions. Several sporulation pathways have evolved independently and occur through distinctive mechanisms. Here, using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), we examine all stages of growth and exospore formation in the model organism St...
