Structural and dynamic basis of Ssp4-mediated DNA protection in foodborne bacterial spores [PDF]
Scientific ReportsClostridium perfringens forms metabolically dormant endospores that withstand extreme environmental conditions. Small acid-soluble proteins (SASPs) are ubiquitous DNA-binding proteins in endospores that promote resistance. While their protective role has

Endospore Appendages: a novel pilus superfamily from the endospores of pathogenic Bacilli [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2021 Bacillus cereus sensu lato is a group of Gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria with high ecological diversity. Their endospores are decorated with micrometer-long appendages of unknown identity and function. Here, we isolate endospore appendages (Enas) from the food poisoning outbreak strain B. cereus NVH 0075-95 and find proteinaceous fibers of two
