Dipicolinic Acid Release by Germinating <named-content content-type="genus-species">Clostridium difficile</named-content> Spores Occurs through a Mechanosensing Mechanism

ABSTRACT Classically, dormant endospores are defined by their resistance properties, particularly their resistance to heat. Much of the heat resistance is due to the large amount of dipicolinic acid (DPA) stored within the spore core. During spore germination, DPA is released and allows for rehydrat...
