Paper Summary:
Sporulation has been adopted as a means of survival in the face of negative environmental conditions by a large fraction of the gram-positive bacilli. This paper examines why sporulation occurs and reviews how the process occurs in Bacillus subtilis.From the Paper:
"Sporulation produces dormant endospores that can persist for thousands of years within hostile environmental conditions that would kill other forms of the bacilli. The "endospores are more resistant to extremes in temperature, dessication, solvents, ionizing radiation and detergents than quiescent fungal or other bacterial spores" (Koch, 1999). In addition, they have an endogenous metabolism rate that is 107 lower than vegetative cells (Koch, 1999)."More papers on Sporulation:
