The genome and variation of Bacillus anthracis [PDF]
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009 The Bacillus anthracis genome reflects its close genetic ties to Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis but has been shaped by its own unique biology and evolutionary forces. The genome is comprised of a chromosome and two large virulence plasmids, pXO1 and pXO2. The chromosome is mostly co-linear among B.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Typing of Bacillus anthracis from Sverdlovsk Tissue
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 A small number of conserved canonical single nucleotide polymorphisms (canSNP) that define major phylogenetic branches for Bacillus anthracis were used to place a Sverdlovsk patient’s B. anthracis genotype into 1 of 12 subgroups.

The pore-forming protein Cry5B elicits the pathogenicity of Bacillus sp. against Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis is a pathogen of insects and nematodes and is very closely related to, if not the same species as, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis. The defining characteristic of B. thuringiensis that sets it apart from B.

c-di-AMP accumulation impairs toxin expression of Bacillus anthracis by down-regulating potassium importers. [PDF]
Microbiol SpectrThe Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax and a bioterrorism threat worldwide. As a crucial second messenger in many bacterial species, cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) modulates various key processes for bacterial ...

Temperature dependence of mycosubtilin homologue production in Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 [PDF]
, 2020 Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633 produces mycosubtilin, a non-ribosomally synthesized lipopeptide of the iturin family which presents antagonistic activities toward various phytopathogens. Different homologues with fatty acid moiety varying from C 15 to C 17 are usually co-produced, with their biological activities increasing with the number of carbons in ...
