جداسازی هاگهای شاربن از خاک مناطق بومی اصفهان، ایران [PDF]
To isolate and detect anthrax spores from soil in different regions of Isfahan, Iran a total of 60 environmental specimens were collected during 2003. Bacterial endospores were extracted via flotation in distilled water and were cultured on blood agar ...

Bacillus anthracis and antibacterial agents [PDF]
Anthrax is one of the oldest threats to humankind, and remains endemic in animals in many parts of the world. Human cases are infrequent, and some result from biological warfare. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the antibacterial activity of available antibiotics. For potential use in the most severe cases of anthrax, antibacterials need

Expression and refolding of the protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis: A model for high-throughput screening of antigenic recombinant protein refolding [PDF]
Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) is a well known and relevant immunogenicprotein that is the basis for both anthrax vaccines and diagnostic methods. Properly foldedantigenic PA is necessary for these applications.

The motility-matrix production switch in Bacillus subtilis -- a modeling perspective [PDF]
Phenotype switching can be triggered by external stimuli and by intrinsic stochasticity. Here, we focus on the motility-matrix production switch in Bacillus subtilis. We use modeling to describe the SinR-SlrR bistable switch its regulation by SinI, and to distinguish different sources of stochasticity.

Surface charge and hydrodynamic coefficient measurements of {\it Bacillus subtilis} spore by Optical Tweezers [PDF]
In this work we report on the simultaneous measurement of the hydrodynamic coefficient and the electric charge of single {\it Bacillus subtilis} spores. The latter has great importance in protein binding to spores and in the adhesion of spores onto surfaces. The charge and the hydrodynamic coefficient were measured by an accurate procedure based on the

An Onsager-Machlup approach to the most probable transition pathway for a genetic regulatory network [PDF]
We investigate a quantitative network of gene expression dynamics describing the competence development in Bacillus subtilis. First, we introduce an Onsager-Machlup approach to quantify the most probable transition pathway for both excitable and bistable dynamics.

GC-MS Profile of Diodella sarmentosa (SW) Bacigalupo El Cabral ex Borhidi Ethanol Leaf Extract and its Total Dehydrogenase Inhibitory Potential [PDF]
Phytochemical composition of ethanol leaf extract of Diodella sarmentosa was profiled with GC-MS and the inhibitory property of the extract against total microbial dehydrogenases were assessed. The major constituents of the extract were squalene (29.50%), Phytol (24.68%), phenol, 3-pentadecyl- (18.58%), 1-Butanol, 3-methyl- (9.09%) and n-Hexadecanoic ...
