Effects of Different Bacteriostats on the Dynamic Germination of Clostridium perfringens Spores

Foods, 2023
Bacteriostats, as chemical substances that inhibit bacterial growth, are widely used in the sterilization process; however, their effects on spindle spores are unclear.

The formation, germination, and cold plasma inactivation of bacterial spore

Food Chemistry Advances, 2022
Bacterial spores, one of the main microorganisms, can cause food spoilage and food-borne diseases. However, due to their high resistance to stress, the inactivation of spores has been a pressing issue in the food industry.

GerAB residues predicted to interfere with water passage based on steered molecular dynamics are key to germinosome functionality

Frontiers in Microbiology
Some Bacillales and Clostridiales bacteria form spores in unfavorable environments. These spores are dormant but can rapidly resume metabolism in germination. This process can be initiated by a variety of low molecular weight nutrients termed germinants.

Detection of Bacterial Endospores in Soil by Terbium Fluorescence

International Journal of Microbiology, 2011
Spore formation is a survival mechanism of microorganisms when facing unfavorable environmental conditions resulting in “dormant” states. We investigated the occurrence of bacterial endospores in soils from various locations including grasslands (pasture,

Bacterial Spore Inactivation Technology in Solid Foods: A Review

Journal of Food Protection
In response to physiological stress, some bacterial strains have the ability to produce spores that are able to resist conventional food heating processes and even more extreme environmental factors.

Flow Cytometry Combined With Single Cell Sorting to Study Heterogeneous Germination of Bacillus Spores Under High Pressure

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Isostatic high pressure (HP) of 150 MPa can trigger the germination of bacterial spores, making them lose their extreme resistance to stress factors, and increasing their susceptibility to milder inactivation strategies.

Phage-Encoded Sigma Factors Alter Bacterial Dormancy

mSphere, 2022
By entering a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity, dormant microorganisms are able to tolerate suboptimal conditions that would otherwise reduce their fitness. Dormancy may also benefit bacteria by serving as a refuge from parasitic infections.
