Independent evolution of oleate hydratase clades in Bacillales reflects molecular convergence [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular BiosciencesOleate hydratase (OhyA), a flavoenzyme that catalyzes the hydration of unsaturated fatty acids, has been identified in various Bacillales organisms, including those in the Listeria, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, and Staphylococcus genera. In this study,

Combination of fluorescent reagents with 2-(4-aminophenyl) benzothiazole and safranin O was useful for analysis of spore structure, indicating the diversity of Bacillales species spores [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBackgroundSafranin O is commonly used for the gram staining of bacteria and fluorescent staining of plant tissues. We aimed to perform a more detailed structural analysis of bacterial spores by analyzing the staining pattern of safranin O, together with ...

Microbial Basis for Suppression of Soil-Borne Disease in Crop Rotation [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe effect of crop rotation on soil-borne diseases is a representative case of plant–soil feedback in the sense that plant disease resistance is influenced by soils with different cultivation histories.
