Endospore pili: Flexible, stiff, and sticky nanofibers

Biophysical Journal, 2023
Species belonging to the Bacillus cereus group form endospores (spores) whose surface is decorated with micrometers-long and nanometers-wide endospore appendages (Enas). The Enas have recently been shown to represent a completely novel class of Gram-positive pili.

Endospore production of Bacillus spp. for industrial use

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2023
The increased occurrence of antibiotic resistance and the harmful use of pesticides are a major problem of modern times. A ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal breeding has put a focus on the probiotics market.

Optimisation of the inhibitory effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, nisin, and lysozyme to prevent the late blowing defect in a cheese model

Czech Journal of Food Sciences
The present study employed response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise the prevention of late blowing defects in cheese during storage. The aim was to enhance the inhibition of Clostridium sporogenes in cheese by manipulating three independent ...

Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015
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 ...

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

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 ...

Rubrolides A, D, P, T, U: Total Syntheses and Antibacterial Evaluation of Highly Brominated Marine Natural Products

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Following the Danube Flow. The first total syntheses of highly brominated rubrolides T, U, and U‐analog, together with the efficient and divergent syntheses of rubrolides A, D, and P. The dibrominated key intermediate, obtained via a Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction, is the centerpiece of the synthesis.
