Investigating Synthesis of the MalS Malic Enzyme during Bacillus subtilis Spore Germination and Outgrowth and the Influence of Spore Maturation and Sporulation Conditions

The spores formed by Bacillus subtilis remain in a quiescent state for extended periods due to their dormancy and resistance features. Dormancy is linked to a very low level of core water content and a phase-bright state of spores. The present report, focusing on proteins MalS and PdhD (pyruvate deh...
