RT   "gerT, a newly discovered germination gene under the control of the
RT   sporulation transcription factor sigmaK in Bacillus subtilis.";
RL   J. Bacteriol. 189:7681-7689(2007).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Involved in spore germination; probably required at the
CC       earliest stage of germination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17720779}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Spore coat {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17720779}.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: Induced in late sporulation stage by sigma K. Repressed by
CC       GerE.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Incorporated into the coat in two steps. First,
CC       independently of CotE, assembles into foci associated with the
CC       forespore. Next, in a CotE-dependent manner, spreads around the
CC       developing spore to form a stable contiguous shell.
