	abstract = {Clostridium taeniosporum spores have about 12 large, flat, ribbon-like appendages attached through a common trunk at one spore pole to a previously unknown surface layer outside the coat that is proposed to be called the {\textquoteright}encasement{\textquoteright}. Appendages are about 4.5 microm long, 0.5 microm wide and 30 nm thick and taper at the attachment end into a semicircle that is twisted relative to the flat ribbon. Individual fibrils, about 45 nm in length with spherical heads and long thin tails, form a hair-like nap, visible along the appendage edge. Four appendage proteins have been detected: a paralogous pair of 29 kDa (designated P29a and P29b), a glycoprotein of about 37 kDa (designated GP85) and an orthologue of the Bacillus spore morphogenetic protein SpoVM. The P29 proteins consist of duplicated regions and each region includes a domain of unknown function 11. The GP85 glycoprotein contains a collagen-like region. The genes for P29a and b, GP85 and possibly related proteins are closely linked on two small chromosome fragments. Putative sigma(K)-dependent promoters upstream of the P29a and b genes indicate that they likely are expressed late in the mother cell, consistent with their deposition into the layer external to the coat.},
