Identification and Characterization of New Proteins Crucial for Bacterial Spore Resistance and Germination [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 2Duf, named after the presence of a transmembrane (TM) Duf421 domain and a small Duf1657 domain in its sequence, is likely located in the inner membrane (IM) of spores in some Bacillus species carrying a transposon with an operon termed spoVA2mob.

Bacterial Spore mRNA – What’s Up With That? [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Bacteria belonging to the orders Bacillales and Clostridiales form spores in response to nutrient starvation. From a simplified morphological perspective, the spore can be considered as comprising a central protoplast or core, that is, enveloped ...

Bacterial Spore Inactivation in Orange Juice and Orange Peel by Ultraviolet-C Light [PDF]
Foods, 2021 Spore-forming bacteria are a great concern for fruit juice processors as they can resist the thermal pasteurization and the high hydrostatic pressure treatments that fruit juices receive during their processing, thus reducing their microbiological ...

Pathways for accelerated bacterial spore killing with ohmic heating [PDF]
npj Science of FoodThe mechanism by which ohmic heating (OH) accelerates bacterial spore killing compared to conventional heating (CH) is unclear. This study used genetically modified Bacillus subtilis spores to investigate OH’s impact on specific components.

Revisiting bacterial spore germination in the presence of peptidoglycan fragments [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyBacterial spores of Bacillus species are metabolically inert cell types formed in response to nutrient starvation. Spores must undergo the process of germination to resume vegetative growth.
