The article, entitled Expression of the 2Duf protein in wild-type Bacillus subtilis spores stabilizes inner membrane proteins and increases spore resistance to wet heat and hydrogen peroxide looks at sporulation in B. subtilis and used VCell modeling to analyze the characteristics of the spore membrane in cells with mutations in genes related to germination.
