ComX and CSF are Bacillus subtilis extracellular signaling peptides. Many different strains of B. subtilis do not communicate due to strain-specific variation of ComX. We demonstrate that CSF is a species-specific signaling molecule that partially compensates for the lack of ComX-mediated communication between different strains of B. subtilis.
ComX 和 CSF 是枯草芽孢杆菌的细胞外信号肽。由于 ComX 的菌株特异性变异,许多不同的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株之间无法进行交流。我们证明,CSF 是一种物种特异性信号分子,它可以部分弥补不同枯草芽孢杆菌菌株之间缺乏 ComX 介导的交流的问题。
