Hygienic safety of alcohol-based hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics
[english] Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall risk of hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics to become contaminated with bacterial spores throughout the production process and the subsequent in-use period, hence posing a public ...

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

Distribution of bacterial spores in supermarkets
This work presents results of the study on the environment prevalence of spores of aerobic bacteria, which are of potential danger to human health. The investigation of swabs from handles of supermarket trolleys revealed on their surface the presence of a large number of spores of unrelated pathogenic bacteria carrying as antibiotic resistance genes ...

RNA Dynamics in Aging Bacterial Spores [PDF]
Upon starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis enters the process of sporulation, lasting several hours and culminating in formation of a spore, the most resilient cell type known. We show that a few days following sporulation, the RNA profile of spores is highly dynamic.

Enhanced self-healing capacity in cementitious materials by use of encapsulated carbonate precipitating bacteria : from proof-of-concept to reality [PDF]
In this study, two bacteria-based self-healing systems were developed for the proof-of-concept and approach to a realistic self-healing. A self-healing system with glass capillaries and silica sol gel carried bacterial cells was first built.
