Phenotypic memory in Bacillus subtilis links dormancy entry and exit by a spore quantity-quality tradeoff

Bacillus subtilis withstands starvation by forming dormant spores that revive when nutrients become available. Here, Mutlu et al. show that sporulation timing controls spore revival through a phenotypic ‘memory’ that arises from the carry-over of a metabolic enzyme from the vegetative cell into the...
