Germinosome
The germinosome is a cluster of germininant receptors and GerD that is localized as a single cluster in the spore inner membrane. It is necessary for the rapid and cooperative response to nutrients, since conditions known to block nutrient germination also disrupt the protein cluster. PubMed
