Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading
Biofilms are ubiquitous macro-colonies of bacteria that develop at various interfaces (solid-liquid, solid-gas or liquid-gas). The formation of biofilms starts with the attachment of individual bacteria to an interface, where they proliferate and produce

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Isolation of multiple subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis from a population of the European sunflower moth, Homoeosoma nebulella [PDF]
Five subspecies of #Bacillus thuringiensis# were isolated from dead and diseased larvae obtained from a laboratory colony of the European sunflower moth, #Homoeosoma nebulella#. The subspecies isolated were #B. thuringiensis# subspp.

A ring-shaped conduit connects the mother cell and forespore during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Significance Specialized secretion systems transport proteins across the double-membrane cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria possess a single membrane and lack many of these secretion systems. During endospore formation in Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis , a ...

A review on the shape changes in pathogenic bacteria with emphasis on Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Bacteria show a plenty of cellular shapes and can alter their forms. The bacterial cell shape is functionally important. Bacteria have a number of options to select their shapes in order to uptake more nutrient, motility, attachment to surface ...
