Growth phase and pH influence peptide signaling for competence development in Streptococcus mutans.

abstract：:During spore formation, Bacillus subtilis divides asymmetrically, resulting in two cells with different fates. Immediately after division, the transcription factor σ(F) becomes active in the smaller prespore, followed by activation of σ(E) in the larger mother cell. We recently showed that a delay in σ(E) activation r...
