Germination of spores of Bacillus bacteria can be triggered by nutrients acting through receptors on the spore's inner membrane. Shah et al. (2008) now report that cell wall peptidoglycan fragments can also trigger spore germination by binding to an inner membrane-bound protein kinase.
芽孢杆菌属细菌孢子的萌发可由通过孢子内膜上的受体起作用的营养物质触发。沙阿等人(2008年)现在报告称,细胞壁肽聚糖片段也可通过与一种内膜结合蛋白激酶结合来触发孢子萌发。
