Gene Editing of a Susceptibility LncRNA Enhances Broad‐Spectrum Disease Resistance in Rice without Developmental Trade‐Offs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Editing susceptibility lncRNAs offers a strategy to enhance disease resistance without yield loss. RESIS, a domestication‐acquired, pathogen‐induced lncRNA, promotes protein N‐terminal acetylation through its interaction with NatA complex. Knockout of RESIS increases translation and confers broad‐spectrum resistance to both fungal and bacterial ...

The Molecular Timeline of a Reviving Bacterial Spore [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2015
The bacterial spore can rapidly convert from a dormant to a fully active cell. Here we study this remarkable cellular transition in Bacillus subtilis and reveal the identity of the newly synthesized proteins throughout spore revival. Our analysis uncovers a highly ordered developmental program that correlates with the spore morphological changes and ...

MoMtg1 Acts as a Novel Transcriptional Repressor of MoSwi6 During Appressorium‐Mediated Penetration in the Rice Blast Fungus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Appressoria are specialized penetration structures for many plant pathogenic fungi, demanding precise cell cycle control. This study unveils MoMtg1 as a transcriptional repressor of MoSwi6, orchestrating MoCYC1 expression during turgor‐driven cell cycle progression to enable appressorium‐mediated penetration. Moreover, a small‐molecule inhibitor ZS1619

Beetroot-pigment-derived colorimetric sensor for detection of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores.

PLoS ONE, 2013
In this proof-of-concept study, we describe the use of the main red beet pigment betanin for the quantification of calcium dipicolinate in bacterial spores, including Bacillus anthracis.

Survival of thermophilic spore-forming bacteria in a 90+ year old milk powder from Ernest Shackelton's Cape Royds Hut in Antarctica [PDF]

, 2000
Milk powder taken to Antarctica on Shackelton's British Antarctic Expedition in 1907 was produced in New Zealand by a roller drying process in the first factory in the world dedicated to this process. Thermophilic bacilli are the dominant contaminants of

Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Model‐Guided Systematic Metabolic Engineering for Enhanced Spinosad Biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora spinosa NHF132

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A genome‐scale model guided the systematic metabolic engineering of Saccharopolyspora spinosa, enabling a 5.5‐fold boost in the green bioinsecticide spinosad to 1.8 g L−1 and establishing an actinomycete framework for complex natural products overproduction.

The Enumeration of Heated Bacterial Spores [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1950
Experiments with 13 strains of Bacillus isolated from canned foods haveshown that, like Clostridium species, the germination of heated spores is affectedby inhibitors present in the media. As with Clostridium species, susceptibilityto inhibitors increases with the amount of heating to which the spores are exposed.The Bacillus strains, however, show ...

FAST CARS: Engineering a Laser Spectroscopic Technique for Rapid Identification of Bacterial Spores [PDF]

, 2002
Airborne contaminants, e.g., bacterial spores, are usually analyzed by time consuming microscopic, chemical and biological assays. Current research into real time laser spectroscopic detectors of such contaminants is based on e.g.
