MogR Is a Ubiquitous Transcriptional Repressor Affecting Motility, Biofilm Formation and Virulence in Bacillus thuringiensis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Flagellar motility is considered an important virulence factor in different pathogenic bacteria. In Listeria monocytogenes the transcriptional repressor MogR regulates motility in a temperature-dependent manner, directly repressing flagellar- and ...

What Is Anthrax?

Pathogens, 2022
Anthrax has been feared for its high mortality in animals and humans for centuries. The etiologic agent is considered a potentially devastating bioweapon, and since 1876―when Robert Koch demonstrated that Bacillus anthracis caused anthrax―it has been ...

Proposal of nine novel species of the Bacillus cereus group

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Nine novel Gram-stain-positive bacteria were investigated by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, these strains belonged to the Bacillus cereus group, sharing over 97 % similarity with the known species of this group, and less than 95 % similarity with other species of the genus Bacillus.

Microbial and Non‐Microbial Biostimulants for Soil Health in Managed Agricultural Systems: A Scientometric Analysis of Bioinputs From 2021 to 2025

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biostimulants and related bioinputs encompass microbial and non‐microbial strategies used to improve plant performance, nutrient‐use efficiency, stress resilience, and soil functioning. Aim For this study, plant biostimulants were operationally defined as substances or microorganisms applied to enhance nutrient‐use efficiency ...

Bacillus anthracis-like bacteria and other B. cereus group members in a microbial community within the International Space Station: a challenge for rapid and easy molecular detection of virulent B. anthracis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
For some microbial species, such as Bacillus anthracis, the etiologic agent of the disease anthrax, correct detection and identification by molecular methods can be problematic. The detection of virulent B.
