Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data
Microbial diversity studies based on metagenomic sequencing have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the microbial world. However, one caveat is the fact that not all microorganisms are equally well detected, questioning the universality of this approach ...

Exploiting the aerobic endospore-forming bacterial diversity in saline and hypersaline environments for biosurfactant production [PDF]
BackgroundBiosurfactants are surface-active biomolecules with great applicability in the food, pharmaceutical and oil industries. Endospore-forming bacteria, which survive for long periods in harsh environments, are described as biosurfactant producers ...

Proposed minimal standards for describing new taxa of aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria.
Minimal standards for describing new taxa within the aerobic endospore-forming bacteria are proposed, following Recommendation 30b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). These minimal standards are recommended as guidelines to assist authors in the

Metabolic differentiation and intercellular nurturing underpin bacterial endospore formation
Sporulation entails intercellular metabolic dependency and nutrient exchange, providing a bacterial case of progeny nurturing. Despite intensive research, the role of metabolism in bacterial sporulation remains poorly understood.

Shaping an Endospore: Architectural Transformations During Bacillus subtilis Sporulation.
Endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis provides an ideal model system for studying development in bacteria. Sporulation studies have contributed a wealth of information about the mechanisms of cell-specific gene expression, chromosome dynamics, protein
