The Morphology of Bacillus cereus Bacteriophages [PDF]
SUMMARY: The ‘negative contrast method’ was used to study by electron microscope four previously described Bacillus cereus bacteriophages. The main features of the structure of these phages are described and the observations corrected with similar work on phages associated with other genera.

Bacillus cereus responses to acid stress [PDF]
Coping with acid environments is one of the prerequisites for the soil saprophytic and human pathogenic lifestyle of Bacillus cereus. This minireview highlights novel insights in the responses displayed by vegetative cells and germinating spores of B ...

Genomic and toxigenic heterogeneity of bacillus cereus sensu lato Isolated from ready-to-eat foods and powdered milk in day care centers in Colombia [PDF]
Bacillus cereus sensu lato (s.l.) is a group of bacteria commonly found in diverse environments, including foods, with potential to cause emesis and diarrhea. In Colombia, it is one of the main foodborne pathogens.

Complex Formation between NheB and NheC Is Necessary to Induce Cytotoxic Activity by the Three-Component Bacillus cereus Nhe Enterotoxin. [PDF]
The nonhemolytic enterotoxin (Nhe) is known as a major pathogenicity factor for the diarrheal type of food poisoning caused by Bacillus cereus. The Nhe complex consists of NheA, NheB and NheC, all of them required to reach maximum cytotoxicity following ...

The Swarmers of Bacillus cereus [PDF]
SUMMARY The production of swarmers by Bacillus cereus occurs naturally, especially in the case of ‘mycoides’ (i.e. morphologically rough) variants, but can also be induced by growth on media of low nitrogen content containing low concentrations of basic dyes.

Germinant receptor diversity and germination responses of four strains of the Bacillus cereus group [PDF]
Four strains of the Bacillus cereus group were compared for their germinant receptor composition and spore germination capacity. Phylogenetic analysis of the germinant receptor encoding operons of the enterotoxic strains B.

Color, Bacteria, and Mosquito Eggs as Ovipositional Attractants for \u3ci\u3eAedes Aegypti\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eAedes Albopictus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
Selected bacterial washes, color, and mosquito eggs were comparatively examined as ovipositional attractants for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Any evidence of additive activity was noted.

The Bacillus cereus GerN and GerT protein homologs have distinct roles in spore germination and outgrowth, respectively [PDF]
The GerT protein of Bacillus cereus shares 74% amino acid identity with its homolog GerN. The latter is a Na+/H+-K+ 19 antiporter that is required for normal spore germination in inosine.
