The bacterium Bacillus subtilis undergoes asymmetric cell division during sporulation, producing a mother cell and a smaller forespore that differentiate metabolically. Here, the authors shed light into the intricate metabolic interactions between mother cell and forespore using genome-scale metabolic and expression models as well as experiments.
