Memory of Germinant Stimuli in Bacterial Spores. [PDF]
mBio, 2015 Bacterial spores, despite being metabolically dormant, possess the remarkable capacity to detect nutrients and other molecules in their environment through a biochemical sensory apparatus that can trigger spore germination, allowing the return to ...

Combination of supercritical CO2 and high-power ultrasound for the inactivation of fungal and bacterial spores in lipid emulsions. [PDF]
Ultrason Sonochem, 2021 For the first time, this study addresses the intensification of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) treatments using high-power ultrasound (HPU) for the inactivation of fungal (Aspergillus niger) and bacterial (Clostridium butyricum) spores in oil-in ...

Cell-specific cargo delivery using synthetic bacterial spores. [PDF]
Cell Rep, 2023 Summary: Delivery of cancer therapeutics to non-specific sites decreases treatment efficacy while increasing toxicity. In ovarian cancer, overexpression of the cell surface marker HER2, which several therapeutics target, relates to poor prognosis.

Research Progress of Cold Plasma-induced Inactivation of Bacterial Spores [PDF]
Shipin gongye ke-jiSpores are the main dormant forms of some bacteria under harsh environment conditions, which are widely distributed in nature. Bacterial spores have a rigid structure, which helps resist to environmental stresses such as heat and ultraviolet radiation ...

Evaluation of Microencapsulation Techniques for MICP Bacterial Spores Applied in Self-Healing Concrete. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Concrete cracks must be repaired promptly in order to prevent structural damage and to prolong the structural life of the building (or other such construction). Biological self-healing concrete is a recent alternative technology involving the biochemical

Proton dynamics in bacterial spores, a neutron scattering investigation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Results from first neutron scattering experiments on bacterial spores are reported. The elastic intensities and mean square displacements have a non-linear behaviour as function of temperature, which is in agreement with a model presenting more ...

A Cell-Penetrating Peptide-Derived Fluorescent Probe for Selective Isolation of Bacterial Spores. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolIn this study, we identify a peptide discovered through fluorescence‐based screening of a cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP) library that preferentially associates with bacterial spores and evaluate its utility as a fluorescence‐guided tool for spore ...
