The Regulation of Exosporium-Related Genes in Bacillus thuringiensis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractBacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are spore-forming members of the Bacillus cereus group. Spores of B. cereus group species are encircled by exosporium, which is composed of an external hair-like nap and a paracrystalline basal layer.

Specific Exosporium Reaction of Bacillus megaterium [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1959 SUMMARY: The sporulation of 51 strains of Bacillus megaterium was examined in shaken cultures in potato extract and in Grelet's denned medium. Some abnormal strains are described in which the spores germinate within the sporangia or very soon after their liberation. The spores of B.

Structure and Assembly of the Bacillus anthracis Exosporium [PDF]
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2015 Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is a highly pathogenic Gram-positive soil bacterium that is also considered a serious threat as a potential bioterrorism agent. Like other bacilli, B. anthracis forms protective spores upon starvation.

Thermophile Endospores have Responsive Exosporium for Attachment [PDF]
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 1999 Abstract Recently studies examining the colonization of Clostridial pathogens on agar and human tissue culture cells, demonstrated that (C. sporogenes ATCC 3584, C. difficile ATCC 43594 [patient isolate], C. difficile ATCC 9689 [non-clinical], C.

Plasmid-encoded genes influence exosporium assembly and morphology in Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 spores. [PDF]
, 2015 Spores of Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 are encased in a morphologically distinctive exosporium. We demonstrate here that genes encoded on the indigenous pBM500 and pBM600 plasmids are required for exosporium assembly and or stability in spores of this ...

mBio, 2018 Bacterial spores produced by the Bacillales are composed of concentric shells, each of which contributes to spore function. Spores from all species possess a cortex and coat, but spores from many species possess additional outer layers.
