Microbiology Spectrum, 2015 ABSTRACT Bacterial endospores possess multiple integument layers, one of which is the cortex peptidoglycan wall. The cortex is essential for the maintenance of spore core dehydration and dormancy and contains structural modifications that differentiate it from vegetative cell peptidoglycan and determine its fate during spore ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Most bacteria can, at least to some degree, hunker down during periods of stress and wait for good times to return. No cells, however, do this as effectively as those Bacilli and Clostridia that form spores. Dormant cells produced by these bacteria can survive most environmental challenges found on earth and even a few in outer space and can remain ...

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

, 2017 Bacterial spore formers have been the focus of intense study for almost half a century centered primarily on Bacillus subtilis. This research has given us a detailed picture of the genetic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms that allow bacteria to survive harsh environmental conditions by forming highly robust spores. Although, many basic aspects

Conservation of the “Outside-in” Germination Pathway in Paraclostridium bifermentans
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Clostridium difficile spore germination is initiated in response to certain bile acids and amino acids (e.g., glycine). Though the amino acid-recognizing germinant receptor is unknown, the bile acid germinant receptor is the germination-specific ...

Characterization and utilization of trichoderma sp. for efficient management of oil palm empty fruit bunch waste in plantations [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and ManagementBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Trichoderma species (Trichoderma sp.) is commonly found in nature, particularly in soil and roots, often thriving in plants rich in cellulose such as oil palm. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize Trichoderma sp. in each

c-di-GMP Inhibits Early Sporulation in Clostridioides difficile
mSphere, 2021 The formation of dormant spores is essential for the anaerobic pathogen Clostridioides difficile to survive outside the host gastrointestinal tract. The regulatory pathways and environmental signals that initiate C.

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 ...
