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

ABSTRACT Spore-forming bacteria of the orders Bacillales and Clostridiales play a major role in food spoilage and foodborne diseases. When environmental conditions become favorable, these spores can germinate as the germinant receptors located on the spore’s inner membrane are activated via germinan...
