Researchers set out to explain how B. subtilis times its sporulation decision with its cell-division cycle, a programmed series of events that cells normally follow to reproduce. What they found is that bacteria use their DNA replication cycle to time critical, once-in-a-lifetime decisions about whether to reproduce or form spores.
