Isolation of a Novel Phage OTooleKemple52 [PDF]
, 2017 A bacteriophage is a virus capable of infecting bacteria like ubiquitous soil-dwelling genus Bacillus. Within the Bacillus genus, there is the “ACT family” made up of B. thuringiensis, B. cereus, and B.

A mechanism for polar protein localization in bacteria [PDF]
J. Mol. Biol. 335 655-663 (2004), 2003 We investigate a mechanism for the polar localization of proteins in bacteria. We focus on the MinCD/DivIVA system regulating division site placement in the rod-shaped bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Our model relies on a combination of geometric effects and reaction-diffusion dynamics to direct proteins to both cell poles, where division is then blocked.

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2013 Bacillus anthracis is the causative bacteria of anthrax, an acute and often fatal disease in humans. The infectious agent, the spore, represents a real bioterrorism threat and its specific identification is crucial.

Identification of Bacteria by Patterns Generated from Odor Spectra [PDF]
Sensors and Actuators B 142 (2009) pp. 429-434, 2009 We use the power density spectra obtained by fluctuation-enhanced sensing of bacterial odors (Escherichia coli and Anthrax-surrogate Bacillus subtilis) to generate new, highly distinguishable, types of patterns based on the average slope of the spectra in different frequency ranges.

Virulence, 2013 Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is a zoonotic pathogen that is relatively common throughout the world and may cause life threatening diseases in animals and humans.

Characterization of Bacillus anthracis Persistence In Vivo
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pulmonary exposure to Bacillus anthracis spores initiates inhalational anthrax, a life-threatening infection. It is known that dormant spores can be recovered from the lungs of infected animals months after the initial spore exposure. Consequently, a 60-day course antibiotic treatment is recommended for exposed individuals.

Validation of the 3-under-2 principle of cell wall growth in Gram-positive bacteria by simulation of a simple coarse-grained model [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The aim of this work is to propose a first coarse-grained model of Bacillus subtilis cell wall, handling explicitly the existence of multiple layers of peptidoglycans. In this first work, we aim at the validation of the recently proposed "three under two" principle.
