Self-repairing of shrinkage crack in mortar containing microencapsulated bacterial spores
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023 The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the efficacy of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) method in shrinkage crack repairing. Portland cement was combined with sand, bacterial spores, water, and nutrients to prepare self-healing

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.

Bacterial Viability in Self-Healing Concrete: A Case Study of Non-Ureolytic Bacillus Species
Microorganisms, 2023 Cracking is an inevitable feature of concrete, typically leading to corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement and massive deterioration because of the freezing–thawing cycles.

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.

Research Progress of Cold Plasma-induced Inactivation of Bacterial Spores
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 ...

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 ...
