Colony shape as a genetic trait in the pattern-forming
BMC Microbiology, 2002 Background Bacillus mycoides Flügge, a Gram-positive, non-motile soil bacterium assigned to Bacillus cereus group, grows on agar as chains of cells linked end to end, forming radial filaments curving clock- or counter-clockwise (SIN or DX morphotypes ...

Bacillus subtilis Intraspecies Interactions Shape Probiotic Activity Against Salmonella Typhimurium
Microbial BiotechnologyCommercial probiotics are often formulated as multi‐strain cocktails, but the effects of social interactions, particularly between strains of a species, are often neglected, despite their potential to contribute to higher‐order interactions where these ...

A dynamic, ring-forming MucB / RseB-like protein influences spore shape in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2020 How organisms develop into specific shapes is a central question in biology. The maintenance of bacterial shape is connected to the assembly and remodelling of the cell envelope.

The CodY-dependent clhAB2 operon is involved in cell shape, chaining and autolysis in Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The Gram-positive pathogen Bacillus cereus is able to grow in chains of rod-shaped cells, but the regulation of chaining remains largely unknown. Here, we observe that glucose-grown cells of B. cereus ATCC 14579 form longer chains than those grown in the

Control of cell shape and elongation by the rodA gene in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 1998 The Escherichia coli rodA and ftsW genes and the spoVE gene of Bacillus subtilis encode membrane proteins that control peptidoglycan synthesis during cellular elongation, division and sporulation respectively. While rodA and ftsW are essential genes in E. coli, the B.

Cheaters shape the evolution of phenotypic heterogeneity in Bacillus subtilis biofilms [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2018 ABSTRACTBiofilms are closely packed cells held and shielded by extracellular matrix composed of structural proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS). As matrix components are costly to produce and shared within the population, EPS-deficient cells can act as cheaters by gaining benefits from the cooperative nature of EPS producers.
