3D meshwork architecture of the outer coat protein CotE: implications for bacterial endospore sporulation and germination

ABSTRACT Bacillus cereus, a Gram-positive aerobic bacterium commonly found in soil, food, and water, forms endospores that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. The endospores are encased in a protective spore coat consisting of multiple layers of proteins, among which, CotE serves as a cruc...
