High-Sensitivity ITS Real-Time PCR Assays for Detection of Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia in Soil and Air Samples

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Rapid Ohia Death (ROD) is caused by two pathogens, Ceratocystis lukuohia and Ceratocystis huliohia. The established species-specific real-time PCR assays targeting the single-copy cerato-platanin gene require DNA from between 2 and 16 spores per reaction

Real-time tracking of fluorescent magnetic spore–based microrobots for remote detection of C. diff toxins

Science Advances, 2019
We report fluorescent magnetic spore–based microrobots for remote sensing of C. diff toxins in clinical stool supernatants. A rapid, direct, and low-cost method for detecting bacterial toxins associated with common gastrointestinal diseases remains a ...

Decontamination of Spores on Model Stainless-Steel Surface by Using Foams Based on Alkyl Polyglucosides

Molecules, 2023
In the food industry, the surfaces of processing equipment are considered to be major factors in the risk of food contamination. The cleaning process of solid surfaces is essential, but it requires a significant amount of water and chemicals.

The Conserved Spore Coat Protein SpoVM Is Largely Dispensable in Clostridium difficile Spore Formation

mSphere, 2017
The spore-forming bacterial pathogen Clostridium difficile is a leading cause of health care-associated infections in the United States. In order for this obligate anaerobe to transmit infection, it must form metabolically dormant spores prior to exiting

Antibiotic-Induced Alterations of the Gut Microbiota Alter Secondary Bile Acid Production and Allow for Clostridium difficile Spore Germination and Outgrowth in the Large Intestine

Msphere, 2016
Antibiotics alter the gastrointestinal microbiota, allowing for Clostridium difficile infection, which is a significant public health problem. Changes in the structure of the gut microbiota alter the metabolome, specifically the production of secondary ...

Spores-on-a-chip: new frontiers for spore research

Trends in Microbiology, 2022
In recent years, microfluidic technologies have become widespread in biological science. However, the suitability of this technique for understanding different aspects of spore research has hardly been considered. Herein, we review recent developments in 'spores-on-a-chip' technologies, highlighting how they could be exploited to drive new frontiers in

Ascospore release and survival in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [PDF]

, 2003
The release and survival of ascospores of a UK Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolate were studied. Apothecia placed in a spore clock apparatus with different lighting regimes at 15 °C released ascospores continuously with an increasing rate for the duration ...
