Molecular mechanisms of adaptation of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillis halophilus to its environment [PDF]

, 2013
The capability of osmoadaptation is a prerequisite of organisms that live in an environment with changing salinities. Halobacillus halophilus is a moderately halophilic bacterium that grows between 0.4 and 3 M NaCl by accumulating both chloride and ...

Isolation and characterization of a microorganism that produces biosurfactants in corn steep water

CyTA - Journal of Food, 2019
In this work a Bacillus strain with capacity to produce biosurfactants was isolated from commercial corn steep water (CSW). The identification of this bacterium was based on phenotypic characteristics.

Microbial dormancy in the marine subsurface: Global endospore abundance and response to burial

Science Advances, 2019
Bacterial endospores are dominant members of the marine deep biosphere. Marine sediments host an unexpectedly large microbial biosphere, suggesting unique microbial mechanisms for surviving burial and slow metabolic turnover.

Use of endospore-forming bacteria as an active oxygen scavenger in plastic packaging materials [PDF]

, 2011
In this study the use of heat resistant endospore-forming aerobic microorganisms of the genus Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as an active oxygen scavenger in multilayer PET bottles was evaluated.

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,

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.

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.

Crystallization of the regulatory and effector domains of the key sporulation response regulator Spo0A [PDF]

, 1999
The key response-regulator gene of sporulation, spo0A, has been cloned from Bacillus stearothermophilus and the encoded protein purified. The DNA-binding and phospho-acceptor domains of Spo0A have been prepared by tryptic digestion of the intact protein ...

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.
