Study of Bacillus subtilis Endospores in Soil by Use of a Modified Endospore Stain [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1985
The Schaeffer-Fulton endospore stain was modified so that it would stain Bacillus subtilis endospores in soil smears. The modified stain differentiated among dormant spores, spores undergoing activation, and spores which had germinated but had not yet shown outgrowth.

Freezing Tolerance of Thermophilic Bacterial Endospores in Marine Sediments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Dormant endospores of anaerobic, thermophilic bacteria found in cold marine sediments offer a useful model for studying microbial biogeography, dispersal, and survival.

Detection of Aerobic Bacterial Endospores: From Air Sampling, Sterilization Validation to Astrobiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Bacterial endospores are formed in genera such as Bacillus and Clostridium in times of incipient stresses. Derivative of their remarkable resistance and ubiquity, endospores are delivery vehicles for anthrax attack, biological indicators for checking ...

Transcriptional analysis of temporal gene expression in germinating Clostridium difficile 630 endospores. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of hospital acquired diarrhoea in industrialised countries. Under conditions that are not favourable for growth, the pathogen produces metabolically dormant endospores via asymmetric cell division.

Importance of Pre-Milking Udder Hygiene to Reduce Transfer of Clostridial Spores from Teat Skin to Raw Milk

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Butyric acid producing clostridia (BAPC) cause the so-called late-blowing defect, a serious quality problem in semi-hard and hard cheeses. Late-blown cheeses are characterized by undesired slits and cracks, irregular eyes, and off-flavors due to ...

Use of the fluorescent probe LAURDAN to label and measure inner membrane fluidity of endospores of Clostridium spp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A method for measuring the fluidity of inner membranes of populations of endospores of Clostridium spp. with a fluorescent dye was developed. Cells of Clostridium beijerinckii ATCC 8260 and Clostridium sporogenes ATCC 7955 were allowed to sporulate in ...

Susceptibility of Vegetative Cells and Endospores of Bacillus cereus to Rhamnolipid Biosurfactants and Their Potential Application in Dairy

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium well-known as a food pathogen that causes great losses in the food industry, especially in dairy. In this study, rhamnolipid (RL) biosurfactants were evaluated as a bio-based alternative for

Hyperspectral Reflectance for Rapid Viability Assessment of Bacillus Endospores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A study was conducted to optically determine the viability of the Gram +, endospore-forming bacterial genera Bacillus using a hyperspectral reflectance spectrometer. Endospores are a dormant, differentiated cellular capsule form taken by select bacteria

Ultrastructure of conidia and hyphal cells of Ophiostoma querci isolates with respect to their ageing

open access: yesActa Mycologica, 2014
Ultrastructural ohservations of isolates presented in this paper revealed that conidia and hyphaae taken from 6-day old end 30-day-old cultures differed in morphology of membranous bodies and occurrence of electron opaque bodies (EOB).

A combination of extreme environmental conditions favor the prevalence of Endospore-forming Firmicutes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Environmental conditions unsuitable for microbial growth are the rule rather than the exception in most habitats. In response to this, microorganisms have developed various strategies to withstand environmental conditions that limit active growth ...
