Impact of surface structure and feed gas composition on Bacillus subtilis endospore inactivation during direct plasma treatment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
This study investigated the inactivation efficiency of cold atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on Bacillus subtilis endospores dependent on the used feed gas composition and on the surface, the endospores were attached on.

Denitrification genotypes of endospore-forming Bacillota

ISME Communications
Abstract Denitrification is a key metabolic process in the global nitrogen cycle and is performed by taxonomically diverse microorganisms. Despite the widespread importance of this metabolism, challenges remain in identifying denitrifying populations and predicting their metabolic end-products based on their genotype.

Effect of supplementary manganese on the sporulation of Bacillus endospores analysed by Raman spectroscopy

, 2009
It is a common practice in microbiology to induce and accelerate sporulation of spore-forming bacteria by adding small amounts of divalent manganese to the cultivation medium.

Endospores of B subtilis are pyrogenic and activate Mono Mac 6 cells:importance of the CD14 receptor

, 2003
The monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6 is sensitive to pyrogens and interleukin-6 secretion is induced after exposure to pyrogens. The aim of this study is to examine the pyrogenic activity and the interleukin-6-inducing capacity of the Gram-positive B ...

Understanding nematode suppressive soils: molecular interactions between Pasteuria endospores and the nematode surface coat [PDF]

, 2015
The knowledge that the plant-parasitic nematode hyperparasite Pasteuria penetrans is important in nematode suppressive soils has long been recognised. The ability to mass produce this organism in vitro circumvents one of its major constraints.

Structural and dynamic basis of Ssp4-mediated DNA protection in foodborne bacterial spores

Scientific Reports
Clostridium 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

Endospores and other lysis-resistant bacteria comprise a widely shared core community within the human microbiota

, 2018
Endospore-formers in the human microbiota are well adapted for host-to-host transmission, and an emerging consensus points to their role in determining health and disease states in the gut.
