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

Do mycobacteria produce endospores? [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
The genus Mycobacterium , which is a member of the high G+C group of Gram-positive bacteria, includes important pathogens, such as M. tuberculosis and M. leprae . A recent publication in PNAS reported that

Profiling Mycobacterium ulcerans: sporulation, survival strategy and response to environmental factors

Future Science OA, 2023
Mycobacterium ulcerans is the causative agent of Buruli ulcer – a necrotizing skin infection. As an environmental pathogen, it has developed stress response mechanisms for survival. Similar to endospore formation in M.

Historical Factors Associated With Past Environments Influence the Biogeography of Thermophilic Endospores in Arctic Marine Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Selection by the local, contemporary environment plays a prominent role in shaping the biogeography of microbes. However, the importance of historical factors in microbial biogeography is more debatable.

Pressure Inactivation of Bacillus Endospores [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT The inactivation of bacterial endospores by hydrostatic pressure requires the combined application of heat and pressure. We have determined the resistance of spores of 14 food isolates and 5 laboratory strains of Bacillus subtilis , B. amyloliquefaciens , and B.

Surface Layers of Clostridium difficile Endospores [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2011
ABSTRACT Clostridium difficile is an important human pathogen and one where the primary cause of disease is due to the transmission of spores. We have investigated the proteins found in the outer coat layers of C. difficile spores of pathogenic strain 630 (CD630). Five coat proteins, CotA, CotB,

Correlations between available primary amines, endospore coat thickness, and alkaline glutaraldehyde sensitivity for spores of select Bacillus species

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Alkaline glutaraldehyde (GTA) is a high‐level chemical disinfectant/sterilant and has a broad microbial kill spectrum. The precise antimicrobial mechanism of GTA remains debated.

Two methods for isolation of endophytic and edaphic Bacillus spp. from sugarcane fields

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2018
: Bacillus has been widely studied and used for the control of pests and diseases. The adapted protocol proposed by POLANCZYK (2004) proved to be more efficient than the one by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1985) to isolate edaphic strains of ...
