- Hi:
-
- I am interested in the presence, type, synthesis, and gene
- structure of capsules in Bacillus spp. I am aware of capsule
- in B. anthracis but I haven't found any other references for
- other Bacillus spp. Are there other references I can get?
-
- Is there any correlation between gram pos capsule and gram neg
- capsule type/synthesis/regulation?
-
- What is the rationale for making capsule in gram pos organisms
- over, say, spore formation?
-
- In B. anthracis, is capsule a normal situation? or does the
- absence of it favor spore formation?
- Thanks for any help,
- Don Chen
