Noise expands the response range of the Bacillus subtilis competence circuit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gene regulatory circuits must contend with intrinsic noise that arises due to finite numbers of proteins. While some circuits act to reduce this noise, others appear to exploit it. A striking example is the competence circuit in Bacillus subtilis, which exhibits much larger noise in the duration of its competence events than a synthetically constructed

Dynamic supercoiling bifurcations of growing elastic filaments [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica D 190 (2004) 266, 2003
Certain bacteria form filamentous colonies when the cells fail to separate after dividing. In Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thermus, and cyanobacteria, the filaments can wrap into complex supercoiled structures as the cells grow. The structures may be solenoids or plectonemes, with or without branches in the latter case.

A Novel Multiplex PCR Discriminates Bacillus anthracis and Its Genetically Related Strains from Other Bacillus cereus Group Species

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Anthrax is an important zoonotic disease worldwide that is caused by Bacillus anthracis, a spore-forming pathogenic bacterium. A rapid and sensitive method to detect B.

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

4D Assembly of Time‐dependent Lanthanide Supramolecular Multicolor Phosphorescence for Encryption and Visual Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 14, April 10, 2025.
Supramolecular dynamic room temperature phosphorescence is the focus of current research because of its wide application in biological imaging and information anti‐counterfeiting. Herein, a time‐dependent supramolecular lanthanide phosphorescent 4D assembly material with multicolor luminescence including white for encryption and visual sensing, is ...

From cereus to anthrax and back again: Assessment of the temperature-dependent phenotypic switching in the “cross-over” strain Bacillus cereus G9241

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bacillus cereus G9241 was isolated from a Louisiana welder suffering from an anthrax-like infection. The organism carries two transcriptional regulators that have previously been proposed to be incompatible with each other in Bacillus anthracis: the ...

Mobility of core water in Bacillus subtilis spores by $^2$H NMR [PDF]

open access: yesBiophys. J. 105, 2016--2023 (2013), 2013
Bacterial spores in a metabolically dormant state can survive long periods without nutrients under extreme environmental conditions. The molecular basis of spore dormancy is not well understood, but the distribution and physical state of water within the spore is thought to play an important role.

Phages Preying on Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis: Past, Present and Future

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Many bacteriophages (phages) have been widely studied due to their major role in virulence evolution of bacterial pathogens. However, less attention has been paid to phages preying on bacteria from the Bacillus cereus group and their contribution to the ...

Bacillus anthracis physiology and genetics [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009
Bacillus anthracis is a member of the Bacillus cereus group species (also known as the "group 1 bacilli"), a collection of Gram-positive spore-forming soil bacteria that are non-fastidious facultative anaerobes with very similar growth characteristics and natural genetic exchange systems. Despite their close physiology and genetics, the B. cereus group
