Spatiotemporal expression of endospore appendages and cryo-EM insights into Ena1C-mediated S-ENA anchoring in Bacillus paranthracis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe endospores of many Bacillus cereus group species are decorated with highly resilient fibrous structures known as endospore appendages (ENAs), whose precise biological functions remain poorly understood.

Cysteine proteases and how YabG fits into clan CD of the MEROPS database [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyCysteine proteases are hydrolases that share a common catalytic mechanism involving a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic dyad or triad. Here, we review the current clans that make up the cysteine proteases in the MEROPS database as of March 2025.

Spore Display Using Bacillus thuringiensis Exosporium Protein InhA
Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2009 A new spore display method is presented that enables recombinant proteins to be displayed on the surface of Bacillus spores via fusion with InhA, an exosporium component of Bacillus thuringiensis. The green fluorescent protein and beta-galactosidase as model proteins were fused to the C-terminal region of InhA, respectively.

Phenotypic and Genomic Insights Into Bacillus spp. and Peribacillus spp. of Spanish Olive Groves With Biotechnological Potential. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepSpore‐forming organisms isolated from Spanish olive groves produce hydrolytic and surface‐active enzymes. Population behaviour is influenced by the formation of strong floating and sessile biofilms. Whole genome sequencing confirms bacteriocin production and environmental safety for the Peribacillus frigoritolerans strain UJA_MA_369.
