Abstract:		ComX and CSF are Bacillus subtilis extracellular signaling peptides. Many different strains of B. subtilis do not communicate due to strain-specific variation of ComX. We demonstrate that CSF is a species-specific signaling molecule that partially compensates for the lack of ComX-mediated communication between different strains of B. subtilis
