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. The coat has a number of features pertinent to the emerging field of nanobiotechnology including self-assembling protomers and the capacity for ...
