Analysis of Peptidoglycan Structural Changes and Cortex Lytic Enzymes during Germination of<i> Bacillus anthracis</i> Spores
Sporulation is a process of differentiation that allows capable cells to go into a dormant and resistant stage of life. To become active again, the spores must germinate into vegetative cells. One key process in spore germination is hydrolysis of the cortex peptidoglycan. This process has been studi...
