Regulation of the Spore Cortex Lytic Enzyme SleB in Bacillus anthracis
Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of the disease anthrax and poses a threat due to its potential to be used as a biological weapon. The spore form of this bacterium is an extremely resistant structure, making spore decontamination exceptionally challenging. During spore germination, nutrie...
