Immunoelectron microscopy was used to visualize the expression of a gene under the control of developmental transcription factor sigma E during spore formation in Bacillus subtilis. sigma E is generat
All experiments were performed in the vineyard strain background. The four sporulation QTN are: RME1nc: RME1(indel-308A), RSF1c: RSF1(D181G), IME1c: IME1(L325M), IME1nc: IME1(A-548G). The source of va
Endosporulation is an ancient bacterial developmental program that culminates with the differentiation of a highly resistant endospore. In the model organism Bacillus subtilis, gene expression in the
In filamentous fungi, asexual sporulation involves morphological differentiation and metabolic changes. The process of asexual spore formation is tightly regulated by a variety of transcription factor
