    Abstract Bacterial endospore formation depends on a series of checkpoints to ensure the fidelity of this critical developmental process. Delerue et al. have uncovered a novel checkpoint in Bacillus subtilis that senses defects in the assembly of static polymers in one compartment and arrests the assembly of peptidoglycan in another compartment.

    Abstract PySpore is a Python program that tracks the germination of individual bacterial endospores. Here, we present a protocol for segmenting spores and quantifying the germination properties of individual bacterial endospores using PySpore. We describe steps for using GUI-based tools to optimize image processing, annotating data, setting gates, and joining datasets for downstream analyses. We then describe procedures for plotting functionality tools without the user needing to modify the underlying code. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ribis et al. (2023).

    Abstract Abstract The bacterial enzymes FtsW and FtsI, encoded in the highly conserved dcw gene cluster, are considered to be universally essential for the synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (PG) during cell division. Here, we show that the pathogen Clostridioides difficile lacks a canonical FtsW/FtsI pair, and its dcw-encoded PG synthases have undergone a specialization to fulfill sporulation-specific roles, including synthesizing septal PG during the sporulation-specific mode of cell division. Although these enzymes are directly regulated by canonical divisome components during this process, dcw-encoded PG synthases and their divisome regulators are dispensable for cell division during normal growth. Instead, C. difficile uses a bifunctional class A penicillin-binding protein as the core divisome PG synthase, revealing a previously unreported role for this class of enzymes. Our findings support that the emergence of endosporulation in the Firmicutes phylum facilitated the functional repurposing of cell division factors. Moreover, they indicate that C. difficile, and likely other clostridia, assemble a distinct divisome that therefore may represent a unique target for therapeutic interventions.
