A Cell‐Penetrating Peptide‐Derived Fluorescent Probe for Selective Isolation of Bacterial Spores

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Orn8‐K‐FAM selectively labels bacterial spores with minimal vegetative‐cell labeling, enabling fluorescence‐guided isolation of spores from complex environmental microbial communities (created with BioRender.com). ABSTRACT In this study, we identify a peptide discovered through fluorescence‐based screening of a cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP) library ...

Rapid, Sensitive, and Selective Quantification of Bacillus cereus Spores Using xMAP Technology

Microorganisms, 2022
Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming ubiquitous bacterium notable as a food poisoning agent. Detection of B. cereus spores using selective media is laborious and non-specific. Herein, the quantitative detection of B.

Waterborne transmission largely contributes to the epidemiology of a plankton parasite

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Understanding how parasites spread is crucial for preventing infections and predicting epidemic dynamics. These efforts are challenging for environment‐borne parasites because transmission is host density‐independent. We monitored the dynamics of Pasteuria ramosa, a common bacterial parasite of Daphnia magna with prolonged free‐living ...

A Novel Bacillus thuringiensis Cry-Like Protein from a Rare Filamentous Strain Promotes Crystal Localization within the Exosporium

, 2013
Mutation of a novel cry-like gene (cry256) from Bacillus thuringiensis resulted in a protein crystal, normally located within the spore\u27s exosporium, being found predominately outside the exosporium.

Bacillus anthracis interacts with plasmin(ogen) to evade C3b-dependent innate immunity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The causative agent of anthrax, Bacillus anthracis, is capable of circumventing the humoral and innate immune defense of the host and modulating the blood chemistry in circulation to initiate a productive infection.

Enhancing Microbial Safety and Nutritional Quality of Fresh Carrot Juice: Insights From Plasma Jet and Spark Plasma Discharge (SPD) Treatments

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The food industry is gaining interest in nonthermal processing methods as an alternative to conventional pasteurization. In addition to preserving nutrition and sensory qualities, pulsed spark discharge (PSD) and plasma jet treatments have shown potential for microbial decontamination.

Clostridium sordellii outer spore proteins maintain spore structural integrity and promote bacterial clearance from the gastrointestinal tract.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Bacterial spores play an important role in disease initiation, transmission and persistence. In some species, the exosporium forms the outermost structure of the spore and provides the first point of contact between the spore and the environment.

The Exosporium Layer of Bacterial Spores: a Connection to the Environment and the Infected Host [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2015
SUMMARY Much of what we know regarding bacterial spore structure and function has been learned from studies of the genetically well-characterized bacterium Bacillus subtilis . Molecular aspects of spore structure, assembly, and function are well defined.
