Revisiting bacterial spore germination in the presence of peptidoglycan fragments

ABSTRACT Bacterial spores of Bacillus species are metabolically inert cell types formed in response to nutrient starvation. Spores must undergo the process of germination to resume vegetative growth. This process is stimulated by the interaction of various nutrient molecules with specialized cluster...
