A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Is Involved in Regulation of Growth and Spore Formation of Bacillus anthracis Pasteur II Strain

Anthrax toxins and capsules, which are encoded by genes located on pXO1 and pXO2, respectively, are major virulence factors of Bacillus anthracis. Our previous studies demonstrated that exposure to high-temperatures is unable to abolish the pXO1 plasmid of the Pasteur II strain, but the growth of th...
