Growth phase variation in cell and nucleoid morphology in a Bacillus subtilis recA mutant [PDF]
The major role of RecA is thought to be in helping repair and restart stalled replication forks. During exponential growth, Bacillus subtilis recA cells exhibited few microscopically observable nucleoid defects.

The Bacillus subtilis stressosome:A signal integration and transduction hub [PDF]
The stressosome is a unique mediator of inducible gene expression in a wide variety of bacterial species. The 1.8 MDa stressosome complex in Bacillus subtilis is a key signal transducer in the environmental stress response of the bacterium, its ...

The Nutrition of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus [PDF]
Summary: Out of nine strains of Bacillus megaterium from culture collections, only five grew in a minimal medium that contained glucose and ammonium sulphate as principal nutrients. One strain required biotin, while three other strains required two or more amino acids for growth. A freshly isolated strain of B. megaterium required three amino acids for

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Role of ureolytic activity in Bacillus cereus nitrogen metabolism and acid survival [PDF]
The presence and activities of urease genes were investigated in 49 clinical, food, and environmental Bacillus cereus isolates. Ten strains were shown to have urease genes, with eight of these strains showing growth on urea as the sole nitrogen source ...

Solubilization, Activation, and Insecticidal Activity of Bacillus thuringiensis Serovar thompsoni HD542 Crystal Proteins [PDF]
Cry15Aa protein, produced by Bacillus thuringiensis serovar thompsoni HD542 in a crystal together with a 40 kDa accompanying protein is one of a small group of non-typical, less well-studied members of the Cry family of insecticidal proteins, and may ...

Definition of the σW regulon of Bacillus subtilis in the absence of stress [PDF]
Bacteria employ extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors for their responses to environmental stresses. Despite intensive research, the molecular dissection of ECF sigma factor regulons has remained a major challenge due to overlaps in the ECF sigma
