Probiotic Bacillus pumilus SE5 shapes the intestinal microbiota and mucosal immunity in grouper Epinephelus coioides [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014 The health benefits of probiotics are thought to occur, at least in part, through an improved intestinal microbial balance in fish, although the molecular mechanisms whereby probiotics modulate the intestinal microbiota by means of activation of mucosal immunity are rarely explored.

Massive horizontal gene transfer, strictly vertical inheritance and ancient duplications differentially shape the evolution of Bacillus cereus enterotoxin operons hbl, cytK and nhe [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2015 BackgroundBacillus cereus sensu lato comprises eight closely related species including the human pathogens Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus. Within B. cereus sensu lato, chromosomally and plasmid-encoded toxins exist.

Two Putative Polysaccharide Deacetylases Are Required for Osmotic Stability and Cell Shape Maintenance in Bacillus anthracis [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Background: BA0330 and BA0331 are the only two lipoproteins among 11 known or putative polysaccharide deacetylases from Bacillus anthracis. Results: Both proteins lack deacetylase activity and are important for cell shape maintenance (BA0331) or high ...

Pectin-derived oligogalacturonides shape mutualistic interactions between Bacillus and its host plant [PDF]
The ISME JournalAbstract Certain beneficial bacteria of the root-associated microbiome such as Bacillus velezensis protect plants against diseases and are promising biocontrol agents exploited in sustainable agriculture. Unveiling the molecular dialogue governing mutualistic interactions between these beneficials and their host is essential to better

Cheaters shape the evolution of phenotypic heterogeneity in Bacillus subtilis biofilms [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2020 Biofilms 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

A sweet twist gets Bacillus into shape [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryA protective organelle that is essential for viability under most conditions, the cell wall is a dynamic structure that is continuously remodelled with the growth of the bacterial cell. Because the cell wall also moulds the bacterium, the mechanisms of cell wall homeostasis can be deciphered using cell shape as a convenient proxy.

Bacteria-shaped Gymnoplasts (Protoplasts) of Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1969 Addition of glucose to the medium in which Bacillus subtilis was grown lowered the p H and increased the amount of lysylphosphatidylglycerol relative to the phosphatidylglycerol content of the membrane fraction.
