Overview on the life cycle of Bacillus subtilis
B. subtilis is able to differentiate into cells with different morphologies and functions (Fig.1). The most characteristic form is the endospore, which is produced under nutrient starvation. In our project, we will exploit the production of endospores. Because they are extremely stable, they are perfect vehicles for the display of functional fusion proteins on their surface as illustrated by our Sporobead module.
