Alkaline–Acid Intestine Environment Controlled by A Carbonic Anhydrase Gene Influences Synthesis of Sex Pheromone by Symbionts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A model proposing that elevated rectal expression of CAh1 in males alkalinizes the environment to regulate Bacillus production of a male‐specific sex pheromone. Abstract The intricate interplay between animals and their intestinal microbes is pivotal in shaping various aspects of animal biology.

The genomic basis for the evolution of a novel form of cellular reproduction in the bacterium Epulopiscium

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Epulopiscium sp. type B, a large intestinal bacterial symbiont of the surgeonfish Naso tonganus, does not reproduce by binary fission. Instead, it forms multiple intracellular offspring using a process with morphological features similar to ...

Characterisation of dairy strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a genomics insight into its growth and survival during dairy manufacture : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
The thermophilic bacilli, such as G. stearothermophilus, are an important group of contaminants in the dairy industry. Although these bacilli are generally not pathogenic, their presence in dairy products is an indicator of poor hygiene and high numbers ...

Bistable forespore engulfment in Bacillus subtilis by a zipper mechanism in absence of the cell wall

, 2014
To survive starvation, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms durable spores. The initial step of sporulation is asymmetric cell division, leading to a large mother-cell and a small forespore compartment.

The trans-activation domain of the sporulation response regulator Spo0A revealed by X-ray crystallography [PDF]

, 2000
Sporulation in Bacillus involves the induction of scores of genes in a temporally and spatially co-ordinated programme of cell development. Its initiation is under the control of an expanded two-component signal transduction system termed a phosphorelay.

Microbial decolorization of a textile azo dye Novacron Blue by natural inhabitant bacteria

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Azo dye discharged in wastewater streams from textile or other industry without treatment results in environmental pollution. This study attempts to uncover the ability of naturally occurring bacteria in reducing and decolorizing a textile azo dye Novacron Blue in nutrient medium and also from textile dye effluent.
