Endospore Appendages: a novel pilus superfamily from the endospores of pathogenic Bacilli [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2021
Bacillus cereus sensu lato is a group of Gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria with high ecological diversity. Their endospores are decorated with micrometer-long appendages of unknown identity and function. Here, we isolate endospore appendages (Enas) from the food poisoning outbreak strain B. cereus NVH 0075-95 and find proteinaceous fibers of two

A transcriptomic snapshot of early molecular communication between Pasteuria penetrans and Meloidogyne incognita [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Southern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White, 1919), Chitwood, 1949 is a key pest of agricultural crops. Pasteuria penetrans is a hyperparasitic bacterium capable of suppressing the nematode reproduction, and represents ...

Endospore appendages enhance adhesion of Bacillus cereus sensu lato spores to industrial surfaces, modulated by physicochemical factors [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Spores of species belonging to the Bacillus cereus sensu lato (s.l.) group are common contaminants in food processing environments due to their ability to adhere to surfaces and resist cleaning procedures.

Isolation and characterization of cellulose-mineralizing haloalkaliphilic bacteria from Siberian soda lakes [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Soda lakes are unique double-extreme habitats characterized by high salinity and soluble carbonate alkalinity, yet harboring rich prokaryotic life. Despite intensive microbiology studies, little is known about the identity of the soda lake hydrolytic ...

Nε-Lysine Acetylation of the Histone-Like Protein HBsu Regulates the Process of Sporulation and Affects the Resistance Properties of Bacillus subtilis Spores

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Bacillus subtilis produces dormant, highly resistant endospores in response to extreme environmental stresses or starvation. These spores are capable of persisting in harsh environments for many years, even decades, without essential nutrients.

Susceptibility of Vegetative Cells and Endospores of Bacillus cereus to Rhamnolipid Biosurfactants and Their Potential Application in Dairy

Microorganisms, 2022
Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium well-known as a food pathogen that causes great losses in the food industry, especially in dairy. In this study, rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactants were evaluated as a bio-based alternative for

Multi-Functional Silver Nanoparticles for High-Throughput Endospore Sensing

Biosensors, 2022
In spore-forming bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium, the vegetative cells form highly durable hard shells called endospores inside the bacteria to survive as the growth environment deteriorates.
