Differentiation
B. subtilis is able to differentiate into cells with different morphologies and functions (Fig. 3). The most characteristic form is the endospore, which is produced under nutrient starvation. In our project, we exploited the production of endospores. Because they are extremely stable, spores are perfect vehicles for the display of functional fusion proteins on their surface as illustrated by our Sporobead module.
