This paper uses fluorescence microscopy to visualize coat formation during sporulation in B. cereus and identifies a subpopulation of engulfment-defective cells.

This paper uses super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to show that CotE positions CotY and ExsY during exosporium formation in B. cereus, revealing a two-cap assembly mechanism.

This study identifies csiA as a regulator that suppresses sporulation in C. difficile by reducing spo0A expression, affecting sporulation initiation without altering toxin or motility gene expression.

This study shows that a natural Bacillus subtilis isolate rapidly loses social traits during domestication in a lab environment due to mutations in the DegU gene within a week.

This study traces the evolutionary origin and specialization of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis and Clostridioides difficile, identifying key gene gain events and horizontal gene transfer patterns.

This study identifies a protein phosphorylation module involving CotB, CotG, and CotH that establishes the structural pattern of the Bacillus subtilis spore outer coat.
