Molecular kinetics of reviving bacterial spores. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2013 ABSTRACT Bacterial spores can remain dormant for years, yet they possess a remarkable potential to rapidly resume a vegetative life form. Here, we identified a distinct phase at the onset of spore outgrowth, designated the ripening period.

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.

Establishment of surface functionalization methods for spore-based biosensors and implementation into sensor technologies for aseptic food processing [PDF]
, 2020 Aseptic processing has become a popular technology to increase the shelf-life of packaged products and to provide non-contaminated goods to the consumers. In 2017, the global aseptic market was evaluated to be about 39.5 billion USD.

THE COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF BACTERIAL SPORES [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1963 The composition of the insoluble "integuments" and soluble "contents" fractions of spores of four Bacillus species of widely differing heat resistance were compared. Electron microscopy of thin sections was also used to determine and compare the morphological structures in the integument preparations.

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.

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]
, 2016 peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host [PDF]
, 2008 Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting parasite growth and ...
