Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology [PDF]
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2003 Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible shield.

Research Progress on Formation, Germination and Control Methods of Bacterial Spores
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023 Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to various processing techniques attributable to its special structure and physiological processes, and often lead to the spoilage of thermally sterilized food. Therefore, it is of great significance to inactivate

Control of bacterial spores [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Bacterial spores are much more resistant than their vegetative counterparts. The most dangerous spore-former is Clostridium botulinum which produces a potent neurotoxin that can prove fatal. The most common food poisoning from a spore-former is caused by C. perfringens. Other food poisoning spore-formers include Bacillus cereus, B.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Bacterial spores play an important role in disease initiation, transmission and persistence. In some species, the exosporium forms the outermost structure of the spore and provides the first point of contact between the spore and the environment.

Superdormant Spores as a Hurdle for Gentle Germination-Inactivation Based Spore Control Strategies
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Bacterial spore control strategies based on the germination-inactivation principle can lower the thermal load needed to inactivate bacterial spores and thus preserve food quality better.

Bacterial Spores as Vaccine Vehicles [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT For the first time, bacterial spores have been evaluated as vaccine vehicles. Bacillus subtilis spores displaying the tetanus toxin fragment C (TTFC) antigen were used for oral and intranasal immunization and were shown to generate mucosal and systemic responses in a murine model.

Improving Dispersion of Bacterial Endospores for Enumeration
KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2015 Precise enumeration of spores is crucial for accurate evaluation of spore survival in the presence of inactivating agents or extreme environmental conditions. Bacterial endospores tend to agglomerate, leading to low estimates of spore numbers.
