Direct observation of a crescent-shape chromosome in expanded Bacillus subtilis cells [PDF]

Nature Communications
Abstract Bacterial chromosomes are folded into tightly regulated three-dimensional structures to ensure proper transcription, replication, and segregation of the genetic information. Direct visualization of chromosomal shape within bacterial cells is hampered by cell-wall confinement and the optical diffraction ...

Bacillus biofilm formation and niche adaptation shape long-distance transported dust microbial community [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Long-distance microbial transport via dust events is projected to intensify globally. However, survival mechanisms of air- and dust-borne bacteria and their contribution to global processes remain poorly understood.

Multi-omics analysis reveals that Bacillus spp. enhance mucosal antiviral immunity in teleost fish by mediating diglyceride production through lipid metabolism

Microbiome
Symbiotic microbiota in vertebrates play critical roles in establishing and enhancing host resistance to pathogenic infections as well as maintaining host homeostasis.

Competition for iron shapes metabolic antagonism betweenBacillus subtilisandPseudomonas marginalis [PDF]

The ISME Journal
AbstractSiderophores have long been implicated in sociomicrobiology as determinants of bacterial interrelations. For plant-associated genera, like Bacillus and Pseudomonas, siderophores are well known for their biocontrol functions. Here, we explored the functional role of the Bacillus subtilis siderophore bacillibactin (BB) in an antagonistic ...

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.

Cell morphology maintenance in Bacillus subtilis through balanced peptidoglycan synthesis and hydrolysis

Scientific Reports, 2020
The peptidoglycan layer is responsible for maintaining bacterial cell shape and permitting cell division. Cell wall growth is facilitated by peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases and is potentially modulated by components of the central carbon ...

Direct observation of a crescent-shape chromosome in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2023
AbstractBacterial chromosomes are folded into tightly regulated three-dimensional structures to ensure proper transcription, replication, and segregation of the genomic information. Direct visualization of the chromosomal shape within bacterial cells is hampered by cell-wall confinement and the optical diffraction limit.

Cutting Edge: Bacillus Calmette–Guérin–Induced T Cells Shape Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection before Reducing the Bacterial Burden [PDF]

Journal of Immunology, 2019
Key Points BCG immunization alters the cell types targeted for early M. tuberculosis infection. Vaccine-induced CD4 T cells are required for this transfer of infection. T cell activation within the lung first occurs distal to sites of infection.

Cannibalism Shapes Biofilm Structure and Composition in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

AbstractBacillus subtiliscan form robust colony biofilms in which different phenotypic subpopulations co-exist in highly structured and complex multicellular communities with tissue-like properties. These subpopulations provide the colony with an overall competitive fitness and the ability to respond to everchanging environmental conditions.
