Integrative Analysis of Proteome and Transcriptome Dynamics during <named-content content-type="genus-species">Bacillus subtilis</named-content> Spore Revival

ABSTRACT Bacillus subtilis spores can reactivate their metabolism through germination upon contact with germinants and can develop into vegetative cells upon outgrowth. However, the mechanisms at the basis of the molecular machinery that triggers the spore germination and outgrowth processes are sti...
