Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 2, Page 213-229, August 2024.Model for the cleavage of SpoIIP by SpoIVB2 during sporulation in Clostridioides difficile. Soon after engulfment completion, SpoIVB2 cleaves SpoIIP, part of the engulfasome complex, to generate the SpoIIPc form. The function of SpoIVB2 is required for synthesis of the cortex layer which takes place across the outer forespore membrane.

Cryo-EM analysis of the organization of BclA and BxpB in the Bacillus anthracis exosporium [PDF]
Journal of Structural Biology, 2014 Bacillus anthracis and other pathogenic Bacillus species form spores that are surrounded by an exosporium, a balloon-like layer that acts as the outer permeability barrier of the spore and contributes to spore survival and virulence. The exosporium consists of a hair-like nap and a paracrystalline basal layer.

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2024.The progression of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is shaped by multiple factors, such as antibiotic usage, age, comorbidities, immune gene polymorphisms, and antibody levels. Among these, the immune response stands out as a pivotal determinant in controlling both the course and severity of CDI.

PROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 9, May 2024.Abstract Bacillus atrophaeus and Bacillus pumilus spores are widely used as biological indicators to assess the effectiveness of decontamination procedures. Spores are intricate, multi‐layered cellular structures primarily composed of proteins, which significantly contribute to their extreme resistance.

International Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 3505-3513, May 2024.Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and deep learning have the potential for the detection and quantification of germination in Bacillus cereus spores. The spectral data in the visible‐near‐infrared range are sensitive to unique structural and chemical characteristics specific to spores, setting them apart from their vegetative counterparts and non‐biological ...

Molecular tiling on the surface of a bacterial spore - the exosporium of the Bacillus anthracis/cereus/thuringiensis group [PDF]
, 2017 Bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium form highly resistant spores, which in the case of some pathogens act as the infectious agents. An exosporium forms the outermost layer of some spores; it plays roles in protection, adhesion, dissemination,
