Reorganising the order Bacillales through phylogenomics [PDF]
Bacterial classification at higher taxonomic ranks such as the order and family levels is currently reliant on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and the presence of shared phenotypic characteristics. However, these may not be reflective of the true genotypic and phenotypic relationships of taxa. This is evident in the order Bacillales, members of which

Evidence for the intense exchange of MazG in marine cyanophages by horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Background: S-PM2 is a phage capable of infecting strains of unicellular cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Synechococcus. S-PM2, like other myoviruses infecting marine cyanobacteria, encodes a number of bacterial-like genes. Amongst these genes is one

Effects of midgut bacteria inHyphantria cunea(Lepidoptera: Erebidae) on nuclear polyhedrosis virus andBacillus thuringiensis(Bacillales: Bacillaceae) [PDF]
AbstractHyphantria cunea Drury (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is a quarantine pest in China that can cause damage to hundreds of plants. As biological control agents, Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) (Bt) are commonly used to inhibit the prevalence of H. cunea.

A regulatory RNA required for antitermination of biofilm and capsular polysaccharide operons in Bacillales [PDF]
Formation of a Bacillus subtilis biofilm community requires an abundant matrix protein, TasA and an exopolysaccharide. The transcriptional regulatory pathways that control synthesis of these structural features are complex and responsive to multiple physiological and population signals.

The Role of Gut Microbiota on Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Mediated by Circulating Inflammatory Proteins: A Two-Step, Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study. [PDF]
We evaluated the causal relationship between gut microbiota and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. We evaluated the causal relationship between 91 circulating inflammatory proteins and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The mediation MR demonstrated the causal pathway from Actinomyces to IPF was partly mediated by CCL11.

γ-PGA Hydrolases of Phage Origin in Bacillus subtilis and Other Microbial Genomes. [PDF]
Poly-γ-glutamate (γ-PGA) is an industrially interesting polymer secreted mainly by members of the class Bacilli which forms a shield able to protect bacteria from phagocytosis and phages.
