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

open access: yes, 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.

Potential of bacteria isolated from chitin‐enriched soil against Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
B. thuringiensis and B. altitudinis, isolated from chitin‐enriched soil, causing mortality in Euchistus heros under laboratory conditions. First report of B. altitudinis in the control of E. heros. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological control using entomopathogenic microorganisms is a more sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides for managing insect ...

Prediction of protein architectures involved in the signaling-pathway initiating sporulation in Firmicutes

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2019
Objectives Like many other proteins, those belonging to the signal transduction cascade initiating sporulation (Spo0 pathway) have conserved protein domains (Capra and Laub in Annu Rev Microbiol 66:325–47, 2012).

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

open access: yes, 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.

Endospore forming bacteria may be associated with maintenance of surgically-induced remission in Crohn’s disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Crohn’s disease (CD) patients who undergo ileocolonic resection (ICR) typically have disease recurrence at the anastomosis which has been linked with a gut dysbiosis.

Identification, characterization and heparin binding capacity of a spore-wall, virulence protein from the shrimp microsporidian, Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This is the final version of the article. Available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.BACKGROUND: The microsporidian Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a spore-forming, intracellular parasite that causes an economically debilitating disease

The FsrA‐Mediated Iron‐Sparing Response Regulates the Biosynthesis of the Epipeptide EPE in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Under iron‐limited conditions, FsrA base‐pairs with the intergenic region between epeX and epeE, enhancing epeE translation and triggering EPE production. Toxin‐mediated cell lysis releases nutrients, including iron, which can be taken up by surviving cells.

The Prevalence and Control of Bacillus and Related Spore-Forming Bacteria in the Dairy Industry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
peer-reviewedMilk produced in udder cells is sterile but due to its high nutrient content, it can be a good growth substrate for contaminating bacteria. The quality of milk is monitored via somatic cell counts and total bacterial counts, with prescribed ...

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Internal hydration properties of single bacterial endospores probed by electrostatic force microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We show that the internal hydration properties of single Bacillus cereus endospores in air under different relative humidity (RH) conditions can be determined through the measurement of its electric permittivity by means of quantitative electrostatic ...
