Microcycle Sporogenesis

Microcycle Sporogenesis

Under certain conditions, germinated spores can be forced to under go a modified process of sporogenesis called the "microcycle sporogenesis", first described by Vinter and Slepecky in 1965. In this process, the germinated spore enters the sporulation cycle without undergoing cell division and the new vegetative cell becomes the sporangium.

This type of sporogenesis has been found to occur in several sporulating Gram positive bacteria. The over all process of micro sporulation is similar to that of normal sporulation except that the spores may be slightly smaller in size
