Identification and characterization of the gerH operon of Bacillus anthracis endospores: a differential role for purine nucleosides in germination.

Matthew A Weiner1, Timothy D Read, Philip C Hanna.   

Abstract

We identified a tri-cistronic operon, gerH, in Bacillus anthracis that is important for endospore germination triggered by two distinct germination response pathways termed inosine-His and purine-Ala. Together, the two pathways allow B. anthracis endospores a broader recognition of purines and amino acids that may be important for host-mediated germination.
