spore maturation
Research ArticleIdentification and Characterization of a Cell Wall Hydrolase for Sporangiospore Maturation in Actinoplanes missouriensisIn streptomycetes, an aerial hypha is compartmentalized by multiple septations into prespores, which become spores through a series of maturation processes. However, little is known about these maturation processes. The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis produces sporangiospores, which are assumed to be formed also from prespores generated by the...
