START OF THE STORY. “In favorable environmental conditions, Bacillus subtilis undergoes vegetative growth through symmetrical cell division. In adverse environmental conditions, such as nutrient shortage, Bacillus subtilis undergoes a complex developmental program whose initiation depends, as mentioned above, on cell density and on the concentration of released quorum factors. When initiated, this program begins with a process of asymmetric cell division.”
