Highly Efficient Genome Engineering in Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus Using the CRISPR/Cas9 System

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Genome editing is an effective tool for the functional examination of bacterial genes and for live attenuated vaccine construction. Here, we report a method to edit the genomic DNA of Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus using the clustered regularly ...

The bacterial swarming factor SwrD belongs to a diverse family of proteins that form hexameric rings

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2026.
Abstract Prokaryotic swarming is a collective surface‐associated behavior that supports rapid colonization, biofilm formation, and host interactions. Swarming requires enhanced flagellar motor (FM) torque generation under high‐load conditions. In many bacteria, this adaptation is achieved through increased stator unit recruitment and coordinated ...

Identification of Bacillus cereus Group Species Associated with Food Poisoning Outbreaks in British Columbia, Canada

, 2008
Food poisoning laboratories identify Bacillus cereus using routine methods that may not differentiate all Bacillus cereus group species. We recharacterized Bacillus food-poisoning strains from 39 outbreaks and identified B.

From Agro‐Industrial Waste to Functional Packaging Using Antimicrobial and Mechanically Reinforced Starch Foams With Melon Seed and Rosemary

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 43, November 15, 2026.
Agro‐industrial waste was upcycled into biodegradable starch foams reinforced with melon seed and rosemary flours, yielding sustainable food packaging with enhanced mechanical performance, selective antimicrobial activity, and rapid biodegradation. ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based packaging has promoted starch‐based ...

Electroporation of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus

, 2000
Contrary to Bacillus subtilis, no natural transformation has so far been described for bacteria of the Bacillus cereus group (B. cereus sensu lato), namely B. anthracis,B. cereus sensu stricto, B. thuringiensis and B. mycoides.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 2821-2855, November 2026.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

A randomly amplified polymorphic DNA marker specific for the Bacillus cereus group is diagnostic for Bacillus anthracis

, 1999
Aiming to develop a DNA marker specific for Bacillus anthracis and able to discriminate this species from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus mycoides, we applied the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting technique to

Phytochemical Screening, Pharmacological Evaluation, and Exploratory In Silico Analysis of Emilia sonchifolia Extract and Solvent Fractions

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. is a medicinal plant used traditionally for the management of several disorders; however, integrated experimental evaluation of its pharmacological properties remains limited. This study evaluated the phytochemical composition and selected biological activities of the methanolic whole‐plant extract of E. sonchifolia

Comparative genomics and biocontrol potential of five Bacillus strains isolated from grapevine rhizosphere

Scientific Reports
Fungal diseases such as Botrytis cinerea threaten grapevine production, causing substantial yield losses and quality deterioration. To manage these pathogens, viticulture relies heavily on chemical fungicides, which may negatively affect the environment,
